Now you’re making me feel guilty that I’m not out in the garage doing the same.
When I lived in Illinois, no way could I work on the bike in January with the garage door open. I reckon it’s the same in Vermont. One of my brothers-in-law in Blue Mound Township has a huge attached garage (more like what the locals call a “machine shed”) which is heated and has drains in the cement floor. He likes to wash his trucks indoors in the winter. Also very comfy for bicycle maintenance. But I would hate to have pay the heating bill!
Nice garage door photo!
looks like some serious work is going on.
“Take ‘er up Virgil” Old TV ad — used to be our mantra at the service station
“Take ‘er down Virgil”
When I was young and single in Bloomington-Normal, I stored and maintained bikes in the kitchen of the house I rented, and kept a bike on a trainer in the living room at all times. Maybe that’s why I had so little luck getting young ladies to visit me? 😉
My rainy day maintenance normally means taking it to the shop for an overdue overhaul. Then they give me the lecture about being better at maintaining my bike. I do need to do at least a little more after rainy/gunky rides, and keep telling myself to do that!
Great garage photo – as Rich points out.
It’s raining here, too, so if you would like to pop by and have a look at my bike 🙂
