12th Annual Santa Fe Bike Swap

 The 12th Annual Santa Fe Bike Swap is tomorrow, May 5th. I'm trying to get a crowbar into my worldly possessions and downsize a little bit.  The bikes I'm leaving with Bike Santa Fe's Community Table include the Panasonic.  I enjoyed riding it, and I had fun with the coaster brake, but it really is just geared too high for my dodgy left knee, and I didn't want to get too far into the weeds with buying new cogs and chainrings and whatnot.  I've just got far too much other stuff going on, (mostly film photography as far as hobbies go).  I've actually been forced to experiment with shifting my seats back and forth on the bikes I ride regularly so I don't get a stabbing pain in my knee when I'm making the final climb to work.  I've found that shifting my seat forward has helped a great deal on the Rivendell and the Happy Little Three Speed.  That flies in the face of all the advice to shift your seats back, but I think the more my foot is directly over
