aahh, benefits of the job
I'm the official mechanic for our bike unit and the bike tools part of our grant was never used. so today my boss tells me to order $320 worth of tools/parts and whatever i need to maintain our fleet of 6 po-po bikes.
i knew that if i went with the big name brands of tools that i'd quickly be out of money so i opted for the performance brand team tool kit.
i had enough left over to get a park repair stand, plenty of tubes and some cables/housing from mikedsx's new shop
so anyway, i just thought it was pretty sweet that i not only get to ride my bike at work when i want, but that i also get to buy bike stuff with someone elses money!
oh yeah, we're also getting some new tech gadgets for the field so that we can use our dispatch software when we're out of the car. we just ordered these:
