Coe Bikes

     One of my favorite parts of e-club, the Coe bikes are free to rent for students. They are red, single-gear, pedal-backward-to-break cruisers. Then get a bit beat up from time to time, so today (54 and sunny) is the perfect day to fix the bikes up and go for a ride.
     The most interesting problem: a wobbly seat. Luckily, it was an easy fix, just tighten a bolt under the seat. The best thing about single-speed bikes is easy repair.
     One chain had come off, and while putting it back on, I cut my finger (oops). Another good thing about Coe bikes: they're kept close to health services. After a band-aid, I was back to putting the chain on.
     With the fleet of five fixed up, I think it's time to try one for a spin around town.
