Sparkly Bike

Yesterday was another nice day here in Boston. But so many days earlier this year, from the winter months of early 2009 to just last week, had taken their toll on my road bike. All the wet weather, riding through icy slush and rain, etc. have brought road dirt and grime onto my bike, especially causing friction and wear on my bike's drivetrain. Finally yesterday (Tuesday), the bike got a tune-up like never before. This is supposed to be part of regular maintenance mind you. But with the help of bike afficionado Bjorn yesterday after work, my bike has a new sparkly, shiny look, and is spinning as smooth as butter...sweet.
