Took bike back to store

The sticker under clear coat problem has solved itself. I took the bike back to the store for a refund. It wasn't meeting my expectations.

Schwinn Midway 7 speed

(Bike + me) - me = 45 pounds. Having gears is helpful to lighten it up a bit.

I go five miles in the morning from 5-530ish. No one really out but me. 8/10's of my last mile is downhill, which means that the first 8/10's of my ride home is uphill. I could level it out on the...

"Yes, but I made it!"

Yep, you can buy almost anything for $1 or make it yourself for $2 and take 16 hours for construction/assembly.

With home projects, the laws of economics and physics do not apply.

Remove top tube graphics Schwinn Midway

The recommended range on the side of the tire is 40-60 psi. 50 psi seems like a happy medium. I haven't tried going lower or higher.

My local weather today

Low temp about 65, high in the upper 70's. Rained steady all day, cloudy. Humidity was considerably considerable. It was a day that seemed like time stood still from beginning to end.

It is so unfair...

I am sorry for everyone's loss. Drivers do not pay attention to the road. They text. They dial. They search for directions. They do everything possible, except pay attention.
