Used Bikes
TODAY – We will get you on a bike. I dunno how that will be possible through the internet, but it sounds like the right thing to say.
More realistically, what we will do is to give you a checklist if you are ever looking at a used bike, say, off Craigslist.
Long story short: Rust is really bad, wrecked wheels and tires are really bad, a clean bike is really good, and things generally shouldn’t wobble, squeak, or rattle at all. More in-depth suggestions below!
Bike Makes: Schwinn
The best measure of one’s expertise in a field is not what one knows, but what one is aware they don’t know. As a person climbs up the ramp to proficiency in a skill, the amount of visible depth of complexity explodes in their face, forcing them to confront how much there is to learn. I am just at the beginning of my path into the realm of bicycle maintenance and repair.
With that said, I do have some impressions regarding brands that have held up to my experience thus far. There are a LOT of bike brands, and I will only cover those that I have been working with often here. You will also not find many specifics, mostly because I still don’t have too much of a clue. Consider that my disclaimer.
Red Ribbon Ride 2015
The RRR is behind me. It was crazy. Not sure if I will do it again. I want to, though.
