It’s we what do

This entry is part 1 of 21 in the series Adventure Rider Issue #42

I bought some crazy stuff while we weren’t riding.

I don’t even know how it happened. I’d be sitting at my desk, working away like always, and at the end of the day I’d realise I’d bought all kinds of things.

Some of it made sense. I’ve been searching for a particular tool I used as a kid when I worked in the lube bay of a service station. I used to work the midnight-to-dawn shift, and when the driveway was quiet – which was most of the time – I did tyre repairs. Back then it meant hunkering down with a couple of tyre levers and a rubber mallet and getting the work done. I was nearly always patching tubes, and the lube bay had a steel wheel with a timber handle which was used to set the patch on the glue.
