This is the Boulder bike co-op. It is totally awesome! You can use a stand and tools. There are people around doing the same thing who are happy to give tips. They stock new and used parts cheap. Good music playing and feels so right hanging out there. I got new brake pads, front and rear, trued my front wheel and adjusted my shoes. The guy on the other truing stand described the process add meditative, which I totally related to. I even say the guy named Archer from the electric bike shop that I met the day before there. He seemed to be instructing a small group. Here he is in one of Boulder’s two electric bike shops (he’s on the left, with anther guy who works there).

Finally here’s me doing a serious chain cleaning and lube, removing many miles of dust and grime.
