This morning I took my trike back to Jack's, where it had just been on Saturday, and with it I took a clearly worded note asking them to please clean up the center pin so that it would move freely. I had asked this on Saturday, but they neglected to do it, and as a result I could not fold the trike for transport in our car, and so had to rent a cargo van today to take it to Dearborn. Richard read my note carefully, and then did good work, spending a lot of time on it and demonstrating to me how well it worked before I left. He also cautioned me to apply a little WD-40 to it periodically.
When I rode late afternoon, I had hoped to do 3 round trips to Marsh Park, but when I turned back after the midway point in the second, my left knee was tender (or "barking at me," as Tigers telecasters Rod and Mario like to say), so I judged it more prudent to limit myself to two. I completed this 18-mile ride in 1:53, on the warmest day we have experienced since last September—80° and sunny.
