My bicycle tires went kaput about a week and a half ago (can we say dry rot?). Kirk offered to buy me a new bike (my Schwinn was 16 years old) but I told him to just buy me some new tires and inter tubes. Well, a couple days later he came home with what I asked for but the valves on the inter tubes were like nothing I had seen before. So onto the Internet I went to search them out. There are two different types of valve stems; shrader and presta, mine were presta and I needed an adapter to inflate them.
While I was waiting for all that I needed to get my bike back on the road again, Kyle let me ride his mountain bike. Wow, it needed constant peddling to get anywhere so I have been getting a real workout using it.
Today, with the help of Bicycle Tutor, I put my bike back together! Boy does it feel good to be able to coast again ;)
