Bikeless in Belleville

As of this afternoon, I am bikeless in Belleville. Fortunately, this is a temporary situation.

My mountain bike is in the shop because my rear wheel needs to be replaced. I've been popping way too many spokes, a big reason I don't ride the mountain bike more than I do, so I'm getting a stronger rim and all-new spokes. At the same time, my road bike is in the shop for its winter tuneup.

Since my third bike is currently in the hand of my nephew, Julius Parod, I do not have a bike at my humble Belleville home. I'm not too concerned because the weather is likely to turn colder next week, and my week will be full with work and events related to the 46th anniversary of my birth.

Speaking of my nephew, he's likely to outgrow my old bike in the near future. He's already almost as tall as I am (6-foot-1), and I wouldn't be surprised if he's taller than me by Easter. Since he's only 16, I wouldn't be surprised if he has a few more inches left to go.
