Biking is a Great DIY Sport
I really appreciate being able to work on any aspect of my bike and quickly and easily keep it in great shape.
Without much trouble I bet I could even take on brazing and tube replacing.
But for regular maintenance and even indepth work like wheel-building it’s so fun working on bikes.
You can just attack em and strip em down and build em back up in a short time. Testing for proper HIGH END tune is a CINCH.
Just think if we’d been unlucky enough to get involved in any INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE SPORT! : ) Man, those engine guys have so much more expense and crazy hassle to go thru to keep in the game. My motorcycle racing pal rebuilds his crazy intense engine and bike every few rides!
He has to have a whole machine shop just to keep rolling.
Lucky me!
Or maybe we could’ve got into some ultra-intricate activity with jillions of tiny parts to maintain.
Bikes have the coolest LEVEL of tech: not too little
not too much.
