[cue the mournful music]
Today, Huffy is dead. Poor Huffy. I’ve been keeping this bike alive by careful application of bicycle mechanics and the force of my will for the past year. Much like I treat my cars, I milk my bikes for all they are worth. The gear wheel and the pedal crank finally gave up. I am sad. Huffy and I have a history. We’ve traveled many a mile together and she will be missed. I’m heading out to the shed now to dig out the Raleigh. I will have to buy some paint and “uglify” her a bit. She’s a beautiful bike and been stolen and recovered once already. I plan to spray her primer black and use a lot of duct tape to make her look patched together. Optimistically, no one will think her worth the stealing then. I hate to do that, but it’s far more important to me that my vehicle be there when I leave the building than look pretty.
*sigh* Poor, poor Huffy; I knew her well. RIP.
