Biking 49:15 9.91 mi (12.1 mph) +22m
ahr:127 max:170 slept:7.0 weight:206.6lbs shoes: Ye Olde Schwinne
I decided it would be fun to get my old Schwinn trash heap rescue bike operational. I picked up an old Schwinn 27" wheel off craiglist. Then I tried to assemble it Friday, but I couldn't find three of the fasteners removed when I took it apart after the rear wheel suffered a multi-spoke failure sprinting to beat a red light.
Thankfully, local bike shop had an old donor Schwinn, so they gave me one of the three fasteners, and I was able to improvise for the rack mounts - not sure the rack mounts are rated for heavy loads, but I can go easy on it for now.
I took it for an easy roll around Whitmore Lake, figuring if anything broke, I wouldn't be more than a 3.5 mile walk from the house. Then I stopped by the bike shop to say thanks.
Should be just the ticket for running from my house to Bandemer park and back on Whitmore Lake road in the wee hours.
