last october i injured my bicycle when i rode over a manhole cover
surrounded by a small three=inch moat on all sides. i let the bike
sit in my apt until wednesday of last week, when i brought it in to
be repaired.
thursday afternoon was pure bliss; for the first time in months, i was
free from the tyranny of the (T) ... whatever gave them the idea that
life stopped at 1am?
saturday evening finds henry booking down the fenway off-ramp which
leads into charlesgate ... suddenly, BOOOM! .. thwap thwap thwap thwap...
the same goddamned thing happens (a huge ding in the real wheel caused
by a road defect which was hardly visible because there are no lights
on that section of the road).
so now i'm out 2x$41 in one week for bicycle repairs. i don't suppose
i can bill these back to the boston city department (or its appropraite
state counterpart), eh?
