teaching cycle maintenance

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2015.04.26

I'm only three weeks into my cycle repair course, and I've already missed a class. But today I took an hour or so to show my son how to replace the tubes and tires.

I think he was more interested in the ant colony emerging for the "spring" (it was 4°C this morning) but he displays an ability to recall things even though he didn't seem to be paying attention. He certainly seemed to like fiddling with the tools and the bits and pieces.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

—Douglas Adams
