In addition to that I can stop carrying around a floor pump strapped to the side of my milk crate as I have an inflater on its way also.
Ha. Nothing to do with your post directly, but I'm dying to know--I watched your video on riding in P'cola, and I just can't figure out what road that was you turned off of onto 9-Mile Road! Things look vastly different from when I lived and rode there! (BTW, my bank is right near the tracks there on 9mi--Regions. Haven't been there in 3 years, but they take good care of me here) ;-)
And yes, it was a bit shocking to see someone from P'cola posting!
