I took my wife's bike since she is picking me up in the car and we are going away for the weekend, and car-bike-rack logistics made it easiest that i ride hers to work. BUT...it wasnt enjoyable: tire going flat, no fenders (it was raining), i was late, no frame pump, no shraeder adapter. I tried cutting off the tip of a presta cap to use as an adapter at a gas station. Cutting it was very difficult with one working hand, and the plastic cap split. I just rode on the soft tire the rest of the way = late.
