Rode around Graz searching for the elusive rear view mirror and poncho, thought it might be wise to get some fenders too if i was going to ride along the rivers and they are all flooding… well the first bike shop i went in had the mirror, last one, they sold e-bikes ranging from $2500 to $6500 which was an awesome mountain bike but no poncho no fenders.
2 other shops had nothing i rode the perimeter of the west and north parts of town, found the river and came back to old town, right in the center was a great shop by the tram and bus central station, yes he had 26” 65 cm fenders 35 euro ok great how much to put them on ? Took him a long time, 65 to install, 100 euro total… lol no way that’s way more than i want to spend…. Yes they had ponchos too, really nice nylon poly ones but 99 euro… so l left there empty handed and then thought well maybe i should just buy the fenders and put them on myself tonight… no i have enough to manage already cooking dinner finishing laundry (one nice thing this air b n b had a wash machine, tho there are no dryers here they have radiators or towel drying racks in the bathrooms). Well i thought I’ll see maybe i won’t really need fenders or a poncho weather report says it’s going to clear up for the next week so let’s get packed get to bed early get an early start tomorrow which is just what i did and now 3 days later i can report happily it looks like I’ll need neither fenders nor a poncho for the next few days. I’m getting caught up on the narrative here, tomorrow next day i will try in earnest go upload some photos.
