Looks like you'll probably be able to get parts, at least: http://www.worksman.com/most-popular.html

Ozone Park is in Queens!

I'm probably going to hang enough baskets and braze-ons on this thing to make it a grocery getter. Or a float in the Rose Parade.

I will order this in eight days (because it's payday).

Kinda freaked out that a woman was killed in my regular bike lane yesterday.

I guess it's time to wear a helmet.
I ride an old jalopy bike, almost 100% in protected bike lanes, and I ride like Kermit the Frog, but yeah, Helmet Time.

Recommend me a helmet!
Looking for something basic.



ps

What's the latest with this Worksman?

I've been so busy with stuff that I haven't had a chance to start working on it. Soooon. Soon.

God, I'd start smoking just so I could drink beer and smoke while strolling on this beauty, keep us posted!

Anything, really. With helmets the price goes up with aero/weight savings/ventillation options. For basic commuting and riding around town anything will be great.

Yeah man, protect that noodle. I was on a multi purpose trail that shares cars, cyclists and runners etc by the lake in my hood. I was coming down a hill and a jackass in an altima turned left into me while in the right turn lane - you don't need it till you need it, and I wasn't even in traffic. I took out his side mirror, flew over the hood, rolled onto the pavement....less than ideal.

Walked away with a horrible bruise on my arm and a lot less confidence, but I'm here. The helmet didn't make it, but that's because it did it's job3.
