flat rear tire today, again. this time, the valve-stem at the tube broke. fixed it at lunch break!
talked with a new co-worker this pm before going home. she stated interest in riding to work also, is going to be at the office tomorrow and wants to see / test ride my recumbent (she has upper neck injury/pain) and standard bikes are contra-indicated per med dr.
at home, i got the 'bent ready for this friday's commute. the front tire WAS FLAT.... after i repaired it (more steel-belted radials truck retread debree), i put 12 more miles on "ready to go"
see what the next day brings!
