Twenty-five for the chain, fifteen for the cassette, fifteen for labor, and plus [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] I need the brakes tightened, and a new brake [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] cable?This wasn't looking good, especially because the winter was here and [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] I'd be riding less. Might it be worth it to simply wait until the spring, when I'd have fewer expenses anyway and I'd be able to afford all the tune-ups I need?
I left my bike and returned the next day and paid my dues. Sure enough, it was worth it. The new bike supplies made my old girl run like new. She was soundless, and I knew that her maintenance visit was worth every penny.
So after wiping her down and [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] greasing her up, I took her to the bike shop to see what the problem was. Turns out [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] it was the cassette. Since I normally bike in the highest gear, even when accelerating from a stopped position, the chain had entirely worn away the teeth in that gear. It needed dentures. Actually [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] it needed a whole new cassette [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] and a new chain. I couldn't get a new cassette only because then the chain would be stretched out and the ride would be worse, and there was no point in getting a new chain only because the cassette would still have its worn away gear.

The bike man looked at me and said, "You know what you need to do." I pondered and held my chin. He was right. I should just invest in the bike supplies now so that I'd be able to ride without worry in the winter. "Besides," he said, "how much money does this bike save you [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] every month." [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] It's true, I thought. If I bought a monthly pass for the train it would be twice the amount I'd spend on my bike maintenance. "And, people forget that these are machines. You use them every day and they're going to break if you don't take care of them.""Fine," I said. "I'll do it." He smiled and I felt for a moment that I had been connived, but deep down I knew he was [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] a good man. His deep crow's feet told me so.
