Hey 77midget, I used to live in Yonkers and once biked to my college in Harrison North of White Plains. On my way home my seat broke and my Mom had to come rescue me. Glad you made it on the roadways OK - see you when you get back.

My bike commute in this morning was OK - but I got a flat. The tube had a pin hole right at the seem. Glad I had put NEW tubes 2 days ago. Yeesh. What happened to quality control. Fortuntely and quite luckily it happened near a remote gas station on 117, so after I put the OLD tube back in, I was able to pump it up to full pressure. I carry a pump of course and a patch kit but replacing the tube and using an electric pump was no nice. I guess I used about 15 minutes. I was still 40 minutes early to work after my 17 mile ride, giving me enough time to wash-up, and change. I just patched the old tube - so that's ready for next time.

Anybody travel with 2 tubes?
