Bikes: "Hildy", a Novara Randonee touring bike; a 16-speed Bike Friday Tikit; and a Specialized Stumpjumper frame-based built-up MTB, now serving as the kid-carrier, grocery-getter.
Not the best ride home today. I took a different train home so I'd have a longer ride on the new folding bike. About a mile out from the train station, the bike started feeling wobbly. I pulled over and the rear tire was completely flat. It was fine when I left work.
I had with me a spare 16" tube, tire levers, and a seatpost pump. What I had forgotten is that the bike doesn't have quick-release wheels; it looks like I'll have to start carrying a wrench. I called a cab and tossed the folding bike in the trunk.
