Saturday: January 12, 2013. An unbelievably, unseasonable, sunny day in NEO.  The West Side Market had a banner day with some vendors selling out of items.  I rode my bike down and dropped it off at Joy Machines.  While I shopped, Joy Machines' Renato replaced my kick stand and trued my tires (damaged by the bike racks on RTA).  All for a reasonable $20.00.  Great service, great guys.

On the way home, I ran into Mike, who is 70-80 (?) years old, tooling around on his bike.  He has no car.  His bike is outfitted with a radio of his own handy work.  It was a great day to be out on a bike.
