Nothing wasted

Not what you think,  these are NOT going to the garbage, not here. They still have many a  wall left in them. Found these drying in front of someone's home.

Roadside assistance

Our bike broke down while traveling, solution.........

1. Call  a mechanic ( anytime, even during dinner)

2. He takes bike apart on the spot ( brought tools in bag)

3. Rides his bike to get parts.

4. Installs the new parts 

5. Cost: $4.87, parts and labour + tip.
