T&T: Bicycles

[capteric36]

  Regarding bicycles I believe I have another 
perspective.
  I have been dependant on my electrically 
assisted bicycle for over 15 years now, even 
before buying my boat.
  Since moving aboard I have discovered a hidden 
truth: COVER your bike well, and then HEAT it 
inside the cover!

I have been using a barbeque cover, available from 
Lowes, for 'large' BBQ's.
 After placing the cover over my bike I insert the 
real secret...  Goldenrods.
   Yes I am telling the truth!

   Aside from (even a month after) being blown 
into the bay, the bike chain was still in very 
good condition, I had to insist that it be 
replaced!

So, to reiterate, ANY bicycle can last for years 
if covered well and warmed with a couple of 36 
inch "Goldenrods"
