This is a picture I took almost a year ago of my dad's old bike before my family moved out of the house we grew up in. My dad passed away from cancer in 2007 when I was 14. I've spent a lot of time over the last year trying to sort through my emotions and feel more connected to him.
Now that I'm back in the suburbs — and out of NYC — for a while, I figured I would try to fix up his bike. I know very little about bikes, other than how to ride them so not sure what to expect. I think certain parts, like spokes, are expensive. Once the rain lets up, I'll take it out of the garage for an inspection.
Until then, I'm going to spend some time researching bikes. Found out that this one is a Fuji 10 speed and bookmarked this article to read tomorrow.
