The bearings in my left pedal went to crap today. Not shocking, as I bought these pedals in 2009 and they have graced at least 4 different bikes since. I pulled shiny new pedals from spare parts and moved the clips and straps over. 
The rear tire (which was both cheap and previously used on another bike) started falling apart, too, so I pulled a previously-used Panaracer off of the ceiling and mounted it up. I should pony up for some 700x37 WTB All-Terrains. They would help when I decide to hit the trail on the way home.

But, at least you have a ton of spare parts.
Not me,

What's sad is that I moved across the continent with all of it last year.

That would be the end of the pier at Jordan Lake, the closest boat ramp to my office is about an even 15km, so it's a 30km out and back of nice North Carolina rolling terrain on some narrow-ish road.

I'm just curious if I had ever been there before, but I don't think so

That was probably the scariest moment of my life! The bikes and some stuff are on a long voyage through Panama right now, though.

I sent the singlespeed UPS ahead of me just in case the movers took too long.

Sweet! We did have a "jobticket" in Frankfurt meaning that all buses/Straßebahn/S-Bahn/U-Bahn in the Rhein-Main valley were only €21/month!
