Bike Technician

My wife volunteered (when will she learn?) to help out at a holiday scheme at the school providing bike training, and despite prior assurances she did not need to bring her own cycle I received a phone call after half an hour requesting I bring hers over; as it had not been used for several years my bike technician duties extended to washing off the accumulated dust, pumping up the (miraculously intact) tyres, and oiling the gears, before riding it over to the school – and trooping back on foot.
