Hee! I've ridden the 14 Hawthorne with a rear wheel in hand--complete with flat tire still on it. Messy business, that.
Hello to a fellow Stumptown bike-rider! I'm impressed with your self-help approach to bike maintenance. Me, I'm more of a take-it-to-the-dealer gal (I don't even fix my own flats anymore if I can help it--after a run of, count 'em, NINE flats in a row when my bike was new a few months ago, I said screw it, Bike Gallery downtown is my new BFF).
