Done
Got out the electric chainsaw to try to finally slice up the giant pine tree that fell in the side yard a decade or so ago, blocking access for mowing (which in this context is more about clearing out wisteria and other invasive stuff than it is about lawn/grass) -- but we seem to be out of chainsaw lube. The chainsaw has none in it (probably ran it dry last time I used it, which was probably several years ago at least).
That required clearing out the attached storage shed, because all the intertwangled bicycles in there made it absolutely impossible to access the back end where the chainsaw is kept. So, having pulled out all four bikes (four? When did we get four? Three of them I knew about, and I remember where/why we got them, but that last one I don't even really recognize. I have a vague memory of someone saying "want a free bike?" and we snagged it, but I don't remember quite when or why.)
The fabric looks like it's falling apart, but actually the disintegrated bits are just fill-in of some sort; I sat on it and nothing snapped. In any case, the aluminum frame is still solid.
Supposedly the straps are replaceable, but I don't know if anyone still makes them for this model. Maybe something can be improvised.
