Duh! Moment
I had one of those slap myself
in the forehead moments earlier
today.
I have been looking for replacement
parts for my exercise bike for a couple
of weeks now, with no luck. The company
that made it went buh - bye a few years
ago.
And I was under the impression that the
pedals (the broken bit) were custom
made - since the local bike shop didn't
recognize the design (oddly, and poorly
designed, I might add) - but today
I took a wrench and vice-grips to
the broken pedal - lo and behold, it
comes apart, the pedal part is a standard
bike pedal, and NOT broken, there is
an intermediate adapter thingy between
the pedal and the bike, still no joy,
that appears custom machined.
But wait, I decided to try and thread
the pedal right onto the bike, the way
it would be on any ordinary bike.
A great big slap myself in the forehead
moment, it bolts right in place!
No cardio attachment to the pedals, but
I don't use it anyway.
I had my first stationary bike ride in several
days tonight, it felt good.
