Farewell, Autobike

Well, I was on the trail today and I have been hearing the crank go, "skronk, skronk . . ."

I took it to a bike mechanic and he said that the Autobike is terminal. The cranks are getting loose on the spindle, and there is just no way to fix it. Sad. I actually liked the Autobike.

Today, I went to my fave pawn shop and picked up a Murray mountain bike/tank. I must have a thing for heavy bicycles. The rubber is shot on it, so I got him down 30% on the price. That much just might cover the new tires and tubes I will need to get to put on. Oh well.

I will just have to get used to shifting the derailleur again.
