Biker girls

One thing I forgot to mention is that the girls now have three bikes to themselves. Or should I say, all three were Kristine's. Since her latest bike were given to her by her favourite Aunt, she neglected her second bike, which is as well because not only did it suffer from a broken front wheel (but repaired) but now, its faced with slipping chains. This happened after my dad took the bike back to the same shop and the assistant broke the chain as he stretched them too taut. Despite having a replace chain, it still keep slipping.

So, when I came home, my Dad gave me the enviable task of solving the problem. Not that I'd complain but its been years (OK, decades) since I attempted to repair a bike. But now, older and wiser, in theory, it should not be a problem. Yes, I know you can see where I am heading on this one but this time, you're wrong. The chain problem was easily tackled by making them a bit taut but not too taut. Only thing was the nuts and the trainer wheels were nowhere to be seen until this morning when I asked Dad about it.

This is and was the first bike that
was given to Kristine. Now that
she has grown up, she cannot use
it anymore and so, we let Kaelynn
have it. Unfortunately, she is also
getting to be a little too big for it too


If I had to show you, the wheel part is where every
piece were out of alingment. Its the plastic hub of
the wheel where everything looked and worked
as if they're bent. I cannot tighten it because this
will crack the wheel hub. So, I'll leave it as it is.


After putting it all together again,
and also readjusting the seat, the
bike is now ready for Kaelynn.
