And, there's a whole bunch of other things going up too. I'm running out of hooks. Customers, however, are scarce. It's a good thing I have a few friends in Florida who appreciate my work and are getting bicycles from me. Thanks, my brothers. I did have a few locals come in today. One had a department store Schwinn with bent wheels. The front wheel almost went through the brakes without stopping, and had a solid tire (that's right, a solid tire, what will they think of next, see pic below). I told him the options. $80 for new wheels plus labor (I admit, I've never removed or installed a a solid tire before) or $20 minimum labor for a little wheel whacking and a little spoke tightening. He chose not to choose and rode away with brakes rubbing so bad you could see, hear, and feel it. I've missed bicycle repair in Logan, where $20 is just way too much to spend on an $89 bicycle.
