No Riding For Me
In the process of living life I haven't had many rides in the recent past. Maybe that is the reason I didn't think ahead.
I'm having the driveway and sidewalks resealed. When the contractor started work I moved the motor vehicles across the street. I sort of thought I'd carry the bike through the house and out another door. But, after the work was under way I realized that just wasn't going to fly. The bikes are duly and truly trapped in the garage. So, the job has another couple days to go and then time to thoroughly dry. Oh well....... |
Sounds like a great excuse to add a new ride to the stable.......:thumb:

I will loan you mine if you pay shipping to Alaska!
|
Where there's a will, there's a way. But maybe it's the will that is the issue?
Bikes can be made fairly transportable through small passages if you take the wheels off |
Painted yourself Into a corner I see :P
|
A couple of days??? They should paint it in a few hours and it's ready to walk/bike on the next day. Or are you LOOKING for excuses?
|
I obviously don't know the layout of your house and property, but I've maneuvered bikes through some narrow spaces standing them vertically and walking them around on their back wheel holding the handlebar and seat. Most bikes can make a pretty tight corner this way with no need to remove a wheel. As mentioned, removing the wheels makes for an easy hike-a-bike through the house. If you can't get into the garage at all you are kinda screwed. See if your LBS has bike rentals.

Tough Crowd!!
Maybe some people are confusing slopping some paint on the asphalt with resealing. Resealing involves power washing, rubberized crack sealer and a couple coats of asphalt. With time to dry between events. |

How often does this have to be done? (full disclosure: we have but a gravel driveway.)
Even gravel and dirt roadways need maintenance periodically. |

:cry: :cry: :cry:, now a tandem through the house might be an issue, but a bike ???? :D
Interesting how a couple other posts challenge my character without, as far as I know, even meeting me. Maybe, as an earlier post of mine said, they don't realize that others see something different and maybe stronger in the mirror? |

Yep, one stumble putting a dent in my wife's new walls and I'm toast. With my nerve damage not taking a chance.

Hope you didn't take my reply as a character challenge. The :cry:, was directed to your dilemma, and the :D was directed to others.
I apologize. Actually, you strike me as an interesting person who I would like to meet next time I'm down there in the Land of Now Fresh But Soon To Be Sea Water. |
I've got about a thousand feet of asphalt. On coating day, wife and I go to work, the sealers do their dirty work, and we park at the neighbor's that evening. Driveway is okay to drive on the next day.

We were offered resealing by the same guy who laid the tarmac. We elected to splash the paint about. It was fun. . . have to do it again soon!
