There is no way I can use a hand pump to get 100 psi in my tires on the road. I'm pretty well done with changing the tire during a normal ride of 25 miles or so. I do have tire liners and a good home floor pump. But, with the thorns we have on FL trails I'll take an CO2 type pump with me. AND I plan on riding as long as I can.
That's great! As a home health nurse I've worked with a lot of people with those numbers -- but I've never seen somebody like you. Most have trouble getting to the fridge.
I have nothing but respect for a person who has a limitation and then finds ways to work around it.
Thanks for sharing your story -- and keep up the great work!
