| It was a pleasant enough trip to the cutsie town of Inlet. Once again we had been searching for a place to get our bikes serviced. Tour cycling is very hard on gear; with continual use our faithful bicycles wore out very quickly. I was delighted when, unexpectedly, I found Pedal and Petals bike shop. Without hesitating, we wheeled our bikes into the store. It was a bit confusing, the place seemed to be full of knick-knacks and junk with petals. Out of nowhere, a very grumpy voice demanded that we get our bikes out of the building. Offended and somewhat flabbergasted, I mumbled, 'we thought this was a bike shop, we wanted a service'. Sternly the voice told us to push our bikes around the corner into the basement. We obeyed and found a pleasant enough mechanic operating out of a dungeon who gave our bikes a good service. I forgot to tell him to ask before changing anything and came back to discover I had new brake-pads. They weren't really ready to be changed and it was a job that would have taken me a few minutes. I had posh new ones in my tool kit that I was wanting to use. Never mind. |  |
