The bikes were a selling point because I wanted to take my wife on the Burke Gilman trail. They looked to be in decent condition from the photos and they were. The front brake noodle linkage was was loose, but I found a pair of pliers in the shed and tightened it back up so it would hold the "noodle". The handle bar grips on one handlebar of each of the bikes had started to come loose and peel back, but I found some electrical tape in the shed and sealed the ends that had started to peel. After pumping up tires, adjusting helmets and attaching my pannier that I brought to the bike rack, we were off. We went from Wallingford to Fremont to Ballard to the locks to Golden Gardens and back with lots of stop offs along the way. I also brought my double long U lock since I've had a bike stolen once that I'd cable locked. The bike I rode made some noises in the rear tire area, but it didn't bother me enough to stop and dig into it and it wasn't hampering the riding of the bike. I suspect it was maybe the fender rubbing somewhere on rear tire or maybe the brakes rubbing a teeny tiny bit. We made a really full day of it on the bikes and they worked great. Really enjoyed that part of our stay. We had a question about where the bikes are located that I emailed Julia about and she almost immediately called me back to let me know which garage they were in and how to get to them. I'd like to come back again and this time ride east on the trail out to Sandpoint.
