November 21 - commute ended in a train ride - ouch!

Well, I guess I should not be riding 50-406 tires on 35-406 rims. I had simultaneous tube failures where the valve protrudes through the wheel indicating to me that there is some pretty harsh stress to the tube. The only bummer is I had only one extra tube. Looking hopeless at 06:25 AM, I locked my bike to my desk, walked to the train station, hopped on a train for 4 stops, and then walked home from the train station. From start to finish, the walk/train commute took the same 45 minutes the bike ride normally takes - proof of another car-free option of getting to work.

So, I got home at 7:10 AM, hopped into the mini-van, drove to the office and picked up the bike, and I was home before 8:00 AM, and I also had a pleasant 10 minute meeting with my boss.

Now, it's bed time.
