My bicycle gets more parts mileage when I am working on the vehicle in the
driveway.  1 mile to ace hardware (fasteners etc) 1.75 miles to a Checkers,
2 miles to another FLAPS 3 miles to NAPA.  Amazing how many times I have
something apart and wont put it back together without fixing something else
I spotted.
