Subject: Bye-bye Bicycle
|
I hope that the new owner of my bike gets as much joy out of it as I
did.
I hadn't been planning on selling it.
It was an option that could possibly happen while I was in the US, but
I hadn't actually planned on it.
Because this is a bike that I liked enough to take with me to the US.
But, it just sort of happened.
When I got the initial offer on my bike I was willing to sell it
because it was going to go to a friend.
But, even after the friend changed his mind, when the tally of things
that I planned to acquire over the summer plus things I had already
acquired was tallied up it was obvious there would be no room for my
bike.
So I put it on craigslist.
I hadn't intended to do that.
But the other option was to basement it until the next time I come back
to the US and that would be a cruel thing to do to a good bike.
So it's not mine anymore.
I think I like the person who bought it. She's hoping to go on a month
long tour maybe next summer and this is her first good bike.
But I still feel kind of sad about letting it go.
I hope she's a better choice than the person who bought the bike
before. He hardly ever rides it. In the time it took me to put
10,000km on my odometer he put 250km on his.
That bike was my first metric century.
This bike was my first tour, my first century, my first race...
And now it belongs to someone else.
Even if she did pay me more than I paid for it new and even if I do
kind of need that money and even if I've got new toys... my bike with
the scrap of red fabric on the seatpost from when the tailor had to
take a skirt in three inches, with the dent in the top tube from
falling over a stoplight, with the soft gray handlebar tape that I got
with prize coupons, with the sticker from the public trip to the
volcano where the bike club had _me_ in charge of a group of newbies,
with a cracked water bottle cage from my first big accident... it now
belongs to someone else.
I hope she takes good care of it.

Right after posting the above I saw another of his posts (about doing
centuries) that was perfectly fine -- format and content -- which just
proves my point: he's a purposeful prick. <eg >
On a side note, I plonked someone ("LIBERATOR") in AM-B a few days ago, and
got this wonderful little menu asking if I wanted all his posts removed from
the server -- neat trick -- but now I can't get that again. Just have to do
the old double-click the post and then right-click the sender's name and add
it to blocked list.
I sure liked that little menu deal thing...

If you're using OE, highlight the message from the offending sender. Then
it's message, block sender, and you'll get the little menu.
I used to use my killfile only rarely. My policy hasn't changed as to when I
use the killfile, just the population of the posters.

Were they really removed from the server? The newsserver? That would seem
like too much power to give an individual.....wiping someone's post
completely off a news server.
OE will remove all of someone's posts on your computer so that you won't see
them. But go to another computer and access that newsgroup and they will be
right there waiting on you. :)

Yeah, just on my computer -- I didn't read it carefully, but thought it was
pretty cool compared to regular old plonking which only blocks /future/
posts from that sender.
However, I can't get that feature to pop up again for me :( Back to
plonking the old fashioned way...
(Actually, I hadn't plonked anyone for years -- easy enough just to ignore
usually -- but a few characters lately have changed my MO.)

I'm reassuring myself with the knowledge that the girl who bought my
bike was someone who was actively searching for a bike with the plan to
go on a tour.
Anyone who puts that in a bike wanted ad must be a good enough sort.
Right?

Excess, when done properly, should be done in an excessive fashion.
Despite the amount of really weird stuff that I take on any given trans
pacific flight the only time I got stuck at customs was when I had some
carved bone ornaments that were such high quality they were sure they
must be ivory rather than the declared cow bone.

Comfort food.
It's the brand I grew up with, and despite being "oriental flavor" is
not the same as ramen in China (which is arguably far far better but
not the brand I grew up with).

I returned to the US mid-July. I am going back to China tomorrow.
None of the bikes I had access to in the US were anywhere near as nice
as this one so I brought it with me.
By the time the initial buy offer had been retracted I'd already
accumulated too much stuff to make taking it in my luggage practical
and it would have been a shame to basement it.
I know what happens to basemented bikes.
They linger.
Sometimes for years.
Never being ridden, never getting a tune up, slowly accumulating dust
until finally they are put out to the curb at a yard sale.
Where, if the bike is lucky, it might end up becoming someone's
commuter or beater.

New acquisitions for the return to China feature -
1 Cannondale mountain bike from approximately 2002 regrettably spray
painted gold
1 Peugot road bike from approximately 1990 with no wheels
1 zocchi suspension fork
1 pair of 700c wheels without cassette or the quick release skewers.
Previous owner says they also need to have the bearings in the hubs
repacked.
1 allen key wrench for my eggbeater pedals
15 boxes of Kraft macaroni and cheese
5 pounds of sharp cheddar
5 pounds of feta cheese
3 pounds of pecorino romano
24 packets of Nissin ramen noodle soup
2 plastic barrels of Utz hard pretzels
1 gallon of kalamata olives (drained)
1 pound of fresh mozarella (drained)
24 Hershey bars
24 Hershey 'special dark' bars
4 Lindt 70% bars
2 pounds of M&Ms
2 pounds of Reese's Pieces
3 pounds of Pepperidge Farm goldfish
81 paperbacks
12 loaves of bread (pumpernickel, jewish rye, multigrain...)
4 boxes gallon Ziploc freezer bags
4 boxes purple Bic pens
24 Bic highlighters assorted colors
1 jar buckwheat honey
6 pairs of coolmax socks
Both the Peugot and the Cannondale are looking especially promising for
good memories as neither bike was in much of a rideable state before I
took them almost completely apart for bicycle kama sutra so as to fit
both of them in the one bike bag. Which, though not easy, was
surprisingly doable.

After reading all this, I now know why we have 11 bicycles in our
garage. It's too painful to let them go.

Man, that brought tears. Why did you sell it? You're coming back to the US
and you don't want to bring it? I assume you'll be getting a new bike,
right? So, you'll have fond memories of an old friend and your make new
memories with your soon-to-be new friend, I hope.
