You may wonder why I'm awake at 2AM. An hour ago I went out to check the bike and make sure I had everything I needed for work in the panniers.

This time the FRONT tire was flat. I think the bike mechanic and I were so focused on the back tire problem, no one checked the front. It was still strapped to the car so I didn't run over anything new.

I tried pumping it up, several times, but I could hear a hissing sound at the stem. I'm not quite ready for this. I have a new tube but I don't have the doodads to take the tire and tube off the rim. (Forget to buy them).

So I'll be dragging the bike back in again for repairs, a lesson in changing tires, and buying the last of the tools I need. I'm not quite sure how to fit this in with going to work tomorrow but it will all work out.
