Hey Lisa - congrats on all the firsts!! And on one day too!!

I had my first flat when I was alone so had no choice but to fix it. Luckily I had been practicing a few times at home the week before so I managed. Did you say you managed to take the tire off without using levers? I can't seem to do that - my hands aren't strong enough I guess. Do you think it depends on the kind of tire (ie road vs mtb?)

Your top speed is the same as mine! Whoo hoo! I haven't hit it once this year though. Don't know what's slowing me down - I keep trying.
