Today we decided to finish
the Highway 30 drive we started yesterday. This is a two lane country road,
lined with older houses that are sitting on the rim, overlooking the river
gorge below. Prime property!!
Somehow, we got to talking
about the problem I’m having with my bike handle, it’s not long enough or high
enough or something and makes my arms hurt. So, we stopped at the visitor’s
center at Hood River and got the location of the bike dealer in town that
handles our brand of bikes. The owner himself helped us and he took a couple of
hours transferring parts on one of the bikes there in the shop, but that didn’t
help, so he brought out an alternate solution. What worked was a mountain bike
type handle bar. The problem…we were leaving the next day and by this time it’s
4pm and my bike is across the river at the campground. So, he says to go get
the bike, we will fix it tonight. We went to get the bike and sat in the
showroom while he fixed it. He treated us like we had bought the bike there,
the same way he treated the 20 or so people that came in while we sat there,
either to pick up their bike or drop it off for repairs. It was evident that we
had picked the right shop!!
