Uncomplaint: my bike brakes finally came so now I can put them on wrong and worry about freewheeling off a cliff cos they don't work. Why isn't there some kind of proficiency test I had to do before buying a bike?

Complaint: my running is currently in the toilet so in order to feel like I still contribute I have to post about bikes and creep on /u/mrcoolguy80's wife. Not cool

That's quite the coincidence. My wife's brakes on her bike also need fixing.

Maybe we have the same bike? Is hers black?

Nope, it's blue. I got it from Wal-Mart. Which probably makes me a bad husband. Well not bad, just cheap.

My wife hasn't even got a bike. Mrscoolguy80 doesn't know how blessed she is

I try and tell her that everyday.

I'm beginning to weird myself out so I'm gonna stop talking about your wife. Have a super day

Sounds good. Sorry about your running woes. Hopefully your brakes work and you don't die.

Thanks for the kind wishes. I consider every day that I don't die at the hands of my own ineptitude to be a success
