Use the one with the least problems on the important parts.


They both have problems with important parts. One I don't trust the brakes, so I have to walk it down steep hills. The other, the back wheel is messed up and I don't trust it not to slip out of alignment and get stuck. It has gotten stuck before. I did my best to fix it myself, and I got it unstuck, but it's still not quite right.

Why not replace the first bike's back tire to the second one, or the second one's brakes to the first one?

Because I don't have the tools and know-how to do that, and have it done right, within the next 40 minutes.

Sort of, there are things I am not fixing, like the sun roof, or the seat motors. I am overdue to do the timing chain, and if the transmission conKS out, I got no bitch it has served long and hard.

On average there's 500,000 trees per square mile, and timed by square mile of the entire U.S. would add up to 1.898371e+12. Which is a lot of trees.
