<\/p>I spent the majority of the day yesterday taking my bicycle apart and trying to fit it in a bike box. It is mostly a frustrating activity to do, and one that isn\u2019t particularly enjoyable or enlightening. It isn\u2019t an exact science yet you need to have some idea about how it works. Luckily there is the internet and YouTube and both offer words of wisdom and encouragement to those who quite frankly don\u2019t know what the f*** they are doing (like myself).\n

Like with any foreign endeavor, there are learning curves and in some cases re-learning curves and in many instances mistakes and fumbling and curse-words and punching cardboard boxes out of frustration.\u00a0But luckily all those things were exhausted a week and a half ago when we\u00a0ventured to put Carolyn\u2019s bike in a box \u2013 and it turned out pretty good, despite some hiccups.<\/p>\n
