at Bike To Work Day there was mention that I should plug the DC Farmer's Market Bike Clinics on my blog...there was no need for discussion... I agreed... I should... I should have already posted something
I also felt that I should check out one of the DC Farmer's Market Bike Clinics
I should have checked out one of the DC Farmer's Market Bike Clinics by now
there it was Saturday... Saturday afternoon... after an already hectic Saturday morningto my pleasure I had a window of opportunity between kid's soccer games an
d family bike rides so... I grabbed my camera and walked on over to the Mount Pleasant Farmer's Market Bike Coop
and what did I discover... providence... I had timed it such that I was there in time to check out the Mount Pleasant Farmer's Market Bike Clinic and the DC BIKE SWAP!
people were just starting to set up as I arrived
my timing was good
SWEET!
