We’re not there yet. Even when complete, there is still a…

Some assembly required
An Old Guy On Two Wheels

Saw another appeal on Facebook for assistance from Austin B-Cycle.  The next round of station installations is taking place and they’re assembling bikes to fill them.  So I signed up (it’s really easy to do) and headed down to lend a hand.
IMG_1304Unpacked three bicycles and finished assembly on two of them.  The third I got mostly done but had to head out to prevent a parking ticket.
