Cycle shop tales

Simple lives. Simple spaces.
Important livlihoods. Sustaining other simple lives.

The tyres hanging on the branch of the tree on the footpath. The mark of a cycle repair shop. 

Visible from afar to those who need these. Invisible to lives which zoom by in air-conditioned comfort.

Night 8pm. My rattling chain guard was fixed. Neatly, competently. With a sure hand. Every bend neatly straightened with the hammer. Each vscrew in perfect position.

A Master at work.
