Picked up a used #bicycle for @Katy Lamothe because the battery on her e-bike is not holding a charge any more. Our car is very small, but it wasn't terribly far so I had her drop me off for the pick-up and I just rode it home while she took the car back.

I am in much worse shape than I expected. We'll be working on that this summer though.

Broke the #bicycle out for the first time this summer. I got this thing second-hand from Facebook marketplace a couple years back and never really had it serviced. I know I probably should.

Anyhow, the brakes were feeling kind of off, so I decided to have a look at them to see if it was a simple enough problem that I could fix myself. I don't know the first thing about bike repair, but after a few moments of following cables and using my eyes and brain, I was able to determine that whoever last did the brakes on this thing knew even less about what they were doing than I did.

Long story short, my rear brakes actually work now—though I should probably have someone who knows what they're doing have a look at it. I just lack the funds to do so at present.

Also, bike repair is less scary than I originally thought.
