Bicycle Content!:

Perhaps both lawn mower and bicycle content?

Try the endless stream of telephone calls, "How much to fix
a bike?"

No sympathy.  Currently, I don't receive any bicycle repair calls, but
do receive calls for computers and small engine repairs and advice.
The calls I receive are usually in the form of:
"My computer won't boot.  Why?"
"My [small_engine_powered_device] won't start.  Why?"
"Is this spam email message real?"

Here's a sample of what I was hearing in from 1983 to 1994:

If, by some miracle, I'm able to repair their computer or chainsaw,
the next questions are something like:
"Can you fix my kitchen appliances, HVAC, solar controller, power
tools, automobile, LCD display, children's toys, etc..."

Lately, it's been camping equipment:

About 75% of what I repair is cleaning and adjustment.

Drivel:  In the hour it took me to write this short message, I
received 3 phone calls and one chat call asking questions that could
have been easily answered with a Google (or DuckDuckGo) search.  With
Tom's help, I'm practicing how to answer such calls.

Time to wash the Subaru for the first time in about 4 years.
