SCENE: A naturally but dimly lit classroom filled with hand-painted drawings, tiny chairs, and marginally bigger tables hosts a teacher and a handful of next-generation thinkers. The small humans sit orderly on the floor: it’s time for the weekly show-and-tell. 

A curly haired boy named Dave steps up, nervously looking down at his scuffed shoes. He pulls something shiny out from a Pelican safe case. The teacher audibly sighs. It’s yet another new bicycle tool. The boy begins to gleam, and suddenly, he’s filled with equal parts excitement and confidence as the eyes of his peers begin to glaze. 

Oh yes, it’s time for another edition of New Tools Day

Coming up

The next edition of Threaded is likely to tackle the topic of chain wear and related tools. It’ll be a few days later than usual, but hopefully worth the wait. Until then, happy wrenching!
