Read the excerpt from "Broken Chain."

He [Alfonso] turned his bike over, balancing it on the handlebars and seat, and flossed the spokes with the sock. When he was finished, he pressed a knuckle to his teeth until they tingled.

to illustrate how much Alfonso cares about outward appearances
to show that Alfonso often puts himself in uncomfortable situations
