Like the Tin Man, bikes need to be properly lubed, or they’ll break down on long journeys and be carried away by flying monkeys. Take a riding companion to see the wizards of off-roading with today's Groupon to Buchika's Ski and Bike in Salem, NH. Choose between the following options:
- For $25, you get an expert ski tune-up (a $49.95 value).
- For $35, you get a standard bike tune-up (a $69 value).
The mechanical mavericks of Buchika's Ski and Bike dispense equipment, parts, and reparative services for two types of mountain travelers. Skis are spruced up with a professional tuning to ensure straight trajectories and turning performance, followed by a micro-jet disc treatment, which grinds down uneven surfaces to a sleek smoothness. Each snow-slicer is then hand waxed, allowing skis to ride effortlessly and pull double duty as mobile candles atop white-capped birthday cakes.
Patrons can whip pedal-powered hogs into shape with a standard bike checkup, beginning with an inspection and a tune of the shifting elements. Each of the dual wheels is then trued, a process that ensures a straight ride by hooking them up to a vehicular lie detector, followed by special attention to the brakes. Finally, the entire bike is cleaned, helping it to set a hygienic example for notoriously dirt-filled dirt trails.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Helping Plants Grow
Botanists know that plants need more than water, sunlight, and the occasional handfuls of dirt sprinkled on them to thrive. Here are sure-fire ways to help your floral friends flourish:
Read to Them: Plants respond positively to the vibrations of the human voice and are especially sensitive to inspirational poems, managerial advice tomes, and loud custody arguments.
Play Music for Them: The sound of a live violin concerto will cause a plant's roots to deepen, but the noise from any recorded music will cause the plant to burst into fire.
Embarrass Them: Place your shriveled shrubs in the shadow of a mighty redwood tree and make it clear which plant you prefer by playing a game of pickup basketball with the redwood.
Ignore Them: If you go a few weeks without watering your plants, they'll become so desperate for your approval that they'll start sprouting eye-catching rubies.
