Bike needed.....

[nota]

....I'm looking for a bike to rent for a week or two while my grandson is here. I've called around to all the obvious places nearby, but no one rents. There used to be a place in Parkville, but the train wreck took it out.

Grandson is 12 and tall enough to ride most any bike for awhile. He just wants to ride in the neighborhood.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

River Market Cyclery is the only place I know that rents bikes in KC.  They are on 3rd Street just east of Grand, next to the City Diner.

Actually for a week or two it might be cheaper to buy a used bike.  Check out Bikes and Trikes for Tykes.  They are a charity that refurbishes bikes for needy kids, and they sell used bikes for fundraising.  Their warehouse in NKC will be open to the public this Saturday, June 10.

Derailleur or brake?  I've got an extra of each.  It is a quick change if you need a hand.  PM me.

Nota, how tall are you talking?  Even though I disagree with your every post, I'll loan you a bike.

Thanks to everyone. I happened to mention this at a meeting I went to this AM and someone loaned me a bike.

Staubio, you have a good heart

derailleur, there is an "extra" cable already on my bike for the "main" cog that i don't use, it's just a matter of switching cables...thanks though. my bikes really need all new gear i guess, i break something metal about once a month.

"Oh, Oh Bicycle Repair Man, how can I ever repay you?" "Oh, you don't need to guv. It's all in a days work for...Bicycle Repair Man!"

Don't worry, we'll wait for you... or we can hook your bike to ours and we'll tow you up any hills.   :lol:

p.s. that was an allusion to Monty Python, warwickland...I forget that you're ignorant to the ingenious humor of the Python gang. I'll never learn, will I?
