Quick Release

Quick, release your hunger:

I ate this.
Quick release bike tires and seats:

But what is so quick about them... it took me over a week to figure out how to reverse the quick release and instead "quick install" a seat and tire onto my disassembled bike. It took a tool loan from KL and some crafty, though incorrect, methods. And I built this. Enjoy this cry for help sent in video form to my dad. It's just that the man at the bike shop told me to turn the tire the other way, turn the seat handle the other way, and turn the quick release the other way. . . I have another way to build a bike. For $50 I'll fix yours, too.

Quick-Cross your fingers that my tire and seat will cooperate.

Be very, very careful with the quick release. My front tire was stolen outside of the law school last year.

Looks like something that a good ole BFH would fix in a just a few minutes. Maybe with a little luck you too will be able to ride yet this summer.
Make sure you tape your seat down so it doesn't get stolen.
Lots of luck Saywah....
