I'm sure you know by now that I've been reunited with the love of my life - unfortunately, the bike shop was closed all the times I went after Seollal...until today.
The bike repair shop man fixed up my bike in a jiff. He replaced one of the tires because it was wearing out a crack into a hole on one side, oiled the chain, popped the basket back into shape since it'd been bent, and adjusted both the seat and the handlebars for me. Since my old lock had been rusted to the point of near-unusability, I also bought a new lock for it. The lock was about five dollars, and the tire replacement was 23. All in all he only charged me $28 to do all that work.
From there it was smooth sailing. Now that I have my bike back I can go anywhere again - and boy, do I intend to!
