Commuted by bike 3 times this week with two of the commutes being rather weird. The first was when I had to leave my car at the tire shop overnight unexpectedly. Thankfully, I hadn't taken my recently acquired vintage Nishiki back home yet so my brother gave me a lift back to work and then I rode the Nishiki back home. Not the way I planned on taking a bike on its first test ride after sitting for 30 years but thankfully no surprises, it worked just fine.

The following morning, I had to bike in so I could pick up my car and drive it home. It had drizzled overnight (highly unusual this time of year for this area) but had stopped a couple hours before I woke up. I took the regular fendered bike and it was a good thing because a block after leaving the house, the rain returned. Not heavy, but enough to get me fairly damp 3 miles later when I arrived at work. I left work around 10:30 to get my car, again on the bike and like that morning, it began to rain again soon as I got going. Very light and intermittent so I barely got wet.

I then got a flat in the rear of the commuter and figured that was a good time to install the new tire I had waiting to go on, old one was was pretty worn out. I patched the old tube and reused it but I discovered this morning that there were apparently two holes and I only patched one. The second leak was minor enough that I was able to get away with pumping up the tire right before leaving and it only lost about 10psi on the ride to work. Patched the second hole at work and it's been holding air all day.
