Sunday's over - and with it the weekend. After checking out some stores yesterday (without buying anything on my part) we drove (by bike of course) to the Exploratorium today... actually it's really similar to the Technorama in Winterthur, though not that nice organized and structured... and also not that cool special exhibitions. Nevertheless it was cool to hang around there for a while... the museum store also was worth a visit.
Exploratorium
(reflection of me on the silver sphere)
Btw: Not that cool: On the way to the Exploratorium (the last 300 meters) on of my tires went flat... the front one.
Cool: A guy who was just running there told me that a big sport store with bike repair was located really near, so I went there after visiting the museum. (Yes, went ... damn it!)
The problem seemed to be the worn tires of my bike... I knew that this could become a problem when I bought it, but I hoped it would be just fine for my time here... bad luck.
Not so cool: I bought a quite cheap new tire for my front wheel and some tire liner (and a new tube of course)... just having changed the tube could lead to new flats because of the bad condition of the tire...
Cool: The repair guy fixed everything for me (for free! Absolutely great!) . He even fixed a used, but way better tire on my back wheel for free (in addition to the new front tire I bought), so everything should work properly now without any problems.

Lucky you to accidently find the friendly neighbourhood bike store. I wonder how you will manage the fixing of the brakes, with your charms again?
I already fixed the breaks a couple of weeks ago... borrowed some tools from the maintance guy at our accommodation. I just did what you said :D Thanks!
