That's the problem, or part of it!

So I rode a different bike. And I put the Holdsworth's pump on that, and never moved it back.
Scary thought: I rode the Holdsworth 80+ miles last weekend, way out into the wilderness of NW NJ, not knowing I didn't have a pump with me. Okay, Milford NJ is not exactly the middle of nowhere, but had I got a flat, I would have been in for some serious walking.
