\"My<\/div>\n

Well, now that I’m riding my bike four or five times a week, I have found that there are several things I want for my bike:\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. New petals and shoes – I currently have basket petals – I want clip-in petals, which take clip in shoes.\u00c2\u00a0 I believe\u00c2\u00a0this will improve my speed and longevity a lot.<\/li>\n
  2. A sadle bag to replace my backpack – riding several miles with my laptop backpack on has proven to be difficult.\u00c2\u00a0 I can do\u00c2\u00a0it, but having a sadle bag to fit over my back tire would be much better (of coarse it would need to be able to fit my laptop at least) .<\/li>\n
  3. A new rear shelf – the one I have won’t fit a sadle bag.<\/li>\n
  4. Night lights – I currently don’t ride at night, so this is down on the list, but I want a head light and blinking tail light.\u00c2\u00a0 When we get to winter it will be dark a lot sooner and for my ride home I will need lights for safety reasons.<\/li>\n
  5. A new seat post – my current seat post is straight, but I have found that I need my seat to be a few inches back from where it is now.\u00c2\u00a0 A new seat post that curves back would open the “cock pit” area up and allow me to be more comfortable.<\/li>\n
  6. A new seat post clamp – I’m not using the correct terms here, but the clamp that is on my seat now is a “quick realse”, and those slip.\u00c2\u00a0 I need a new clamp that I can tighten down in place that will not slip.\u00c2\u00a0 Having my seat slip down causes knee pain and slows me down.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Well, I think that is it for now… \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
