I'm having a problem with my bike and thought maybe you've had the same problem and could tell me what to do about it.

Had a friend that rode one in grade school that had a problem with their bike once. I'll check with them as to what they did about it.

Mine misbehaved very, very, very badly and got thrown into the joint.
But then the barbour set it free! That was a bonehead move!

My bike is depressed. I read on the Huffington Post that its enjoyment of life is inversely proportional to the mass of my ass.

Give it two squirts of oil and have it see me in the morning.

You will ruin it if you doctor it up to much. Give it to an expert to fix.

Your bike may need to talk to a bike cycleologist or go on some group rides for therapy.
Bikes get depressed and cranky when they are stuck inside all winter -- just like their human.
Give your bike a nice warm bath followed with clean lube and a big hug.
Watch some of your TDF videos together on the couch.
Talk about some of your upcoming ride plans for the summer.

One of these daily keeps doctors from attacking you, so I hear. It must be like garlic for vampires.

Luckily, here in the UK the NHS (National Health Service) is there to sort this sort of problem out for free - If you don't mind waiting a loooooooooooooooong time
