Fri 11/24: Bike ride to Berkeley, errands, Falafel

It was another sunny day, typical for the East Bay.

Jen & I rode bikes to Berkeley, ran some errands, went to Mike's Bikes of Berkeley (2135 University Ave Berkeley, CA 94704 510-549-8350) and Missing Link Bicycle Co-op (1988 Shattuck Ave Berkeley, CA 94704 510-843-7471) looking for a replacement 6 speed freewheel for Jen's Sequoia touring bike so we will be ready for Mexico. Missing Link had one but the granny was only 28 tooth which I think wouldn't give Jen gears low enough, and it was pricey at $25 + tax for old technology. There is a guy at the Berkeley Saturday farmer's market who has older stuff, as well as they Tinker's Workshop; we will try those places to see if they have any new freewheels. In my view, it isn't worth messing around with used ones.

Later we got a Vegetarian platter at Mediterranean ($8.50 for 2 since we shared, no table service; not to be confused with La Mediterranee where we have been several times; 1984 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley, CA 94704 510-540-9997).
