Love it. There’s a surprising amount of hackability in espresso machines — reminds me a lot of bicycles as an approachably fun tinkering project.

Do you know of any resources to help learn bicycles? I wish I could tune my own bicycle but can't seem to figure it out. I can build my own computer, change the oil in my car, paint a house, etc. but my bicycle always befuddles me.

Talk to the folks at your local bike shop, and they can 1) tell you what type of parts your bike has so you can find the right resources 2) refer you to local groups who work on bikes like "bike kitchens" 3) sell you parts and tools you may need.

Also, friends who work on bikes are usually happy to help!

> Talk to the folks at your local bike shop...

Yes, definitely, but please remember that while we love talking bikes, if you make a habit of discussing the purchase of an $8 set of brake pads for 20 minutes, we'll mysteriously disappear the next time you walk in.
