Winston Churchill's secretary once reminded him that it was bad grammar to end a sentence with a
prepostion (sp).

He replied: "That is something up with which I shall not put."

But that's exactly the way to do it (or at least one very good way to do it.) Of course, you
probably want to work on a $25 tag sale bicycle at first.

Step 1: Buy beater bike

Step 2: Get copy of Zinn and the Art of Road (or Mountain) Bicycle Maintence

Step 3: Get a Performance (or Nashbar) Catalog (you're going to want some tools and stuff)

Step 4: Fix up beater

Step 5: Feel pride in both your improved skills as well as that fixed up beater
