Does Your Bike Need a Tune-Up?

 

Does your bike need work? Are you afraid if you remove the front wheel in order to squish your bike into your car that you’ll never get the wheel back on correctly? Do you dread leaving your bike at the shop for a week? Call Mark at Bici-Fixx. He’ll zoom over to your house and work on your bike in his van. Not only are his prices very reasonable – he’ll bring his new pup along too.

That darkness is about to pass. -Emily Dickinson

 

Water is back in the arroyo, or as we call it, the ditch–and that means spring is here.

 

I Promise:

After today I’m going to practice my social distancing skills, which I’m really good at! But on the way to Target to stock up on popcorn and pistachios, we couldn’t resist making a few stops. This is the Sawmill Market, which just opened last week. Talk about bad timing. It’s a beautiful hall full of restaurants and shops, with lots of nice areas to sit and talk and read.
