Got my bike out on monday to ride to work, starter is a bit iffy so I'm not surprised that it fails to start. Luckily I live at the top of a long road with a quite a serious slope, so I roll it out the driveway and try to bumpstart it (as I seem to have to do at least once a week). Get to the bottom of the hill and the bike still isn't going. Start the walk up the hill, pushing my bike. The rain is torrential, but its too hot to keep my gear on, so I lose the jacket and helmet. Two hours later I make it home, freezing cold, soaked to the bone and exhausted.
Today the bike still isnt going so I catch a lift in the wifes cage. Three quarters of the way to work the car dies. I have to get out and push about 200 metres (uphill) to get to a spot where we can safely pull over, I then have to walk to work and call roadside assistance.
Cage has been fixed today, so I can get to work, but the bike still isnt going. I want to take it in to Red Baron on saturday, which probably means I will have to hire a trailer. So I guess that means I can add $20 dollars trailer hire to my expenses this week of $300 to fix the cage, $1300 bond for my new flat, $300 for the movers, $350 for the vets, and whatever it costs to fix the bike. A little too much money for someone who earns as little as I do.
Bugger.
