Don't stop get it get it let me put some umpf in it!
So I had a recurring flat going on with my back tire. *Not Cool* I heard about Bike Saviours but being a newbie to the city and not one to believe the hype decided not to stop by. Wish I would have sooner! I walked JudyGoodBar into the building and low and behold there were 3 work stations with men working on their bikes of all sorts. To my surprise I was the least bit intimidated about being the only dame working on my JGB (there were other birds there but they were standing next to their men for moral support I guess) Well the last time I fixed a flat I was about seven and I forgot how easy it was, and I can't remember the man's name that was assisting me, but I was grateful that he instructed me from a distance so I learned how to use the tools. The sour part of my experience was that I have an old 92' Murray legend road bike with the step through frame and my tires are 26 1 3/8th which are a rare find, long story short I was in the shop for 2 hours trying to find a suitable inner tube for my tire. If that wasn't the issue the work would have taken about 30 minutes. None the less I had a blast and I got my barbie pink finger nails grimy and I got to sweat a bit. I also was able to adjusted my shifter cables which reminds me I need to put bike tools on my Christmas wish list preferably pink, periwinkle blue or a purple case. *Fingers X* My bill totaled a whopping $6 and I threw some extra dough in the tip jar and hopped on my favorite gal, tuned my IPod to some classic ska and took her for a cruise around the hood like I use to. Overall I have to say this is the go to place for beginners to the pros, the price range is reasonable the employees know what you need and are always around to lend some advice if asked. I am psyched to start the Wednesday ladies night and get my nails smudged again!
