2009? A better Year of The Bike?

Well...shortly after I made the last post below, I let my son use my bike. Sigh. He ran over something, and totally shredded the back tire and destroyed the wheel. I didn't have a lot of time (as I thought I would) to ride, so I just let the poor thing sit, and sit, and sit...

I finally got it fixed a few weeks ago, and hope to back out on the road soon. We shall see!
