beware of friends and co workers who say "you can help me if I get stuck,"

"She was more determined than ever to buy an old bike and learn how to work on it. Can’t fault her for that. But then she concluded her thought with, “After all, you can help me if I get stuck.”

Let’s pause here for a moment.

She said, "you can help me if I get stuck," but what I heard was something along the lines of, “I have no idea what I am doing, but you do, and I am hoping you will spend countless hours of your precious free time working on my bike for me. But don’t worry, I’ll give you a six pack in return.”

If you are thinking about buying a vintage machine as your first bike, I would just ask you to consider all of your options. If you go through with it, make sure you have a patient, knowledgeable friend with plenty of tools who is willing to help you out. At that point, all that’s left is to figure out what kind of beer they drink.
