big congrats kik! sometimes riding by yourself is a great way to burn off some frustration and get out-- like cruising but healthier, lol.

Just wanted to chime in on the inflating tires topic-- I bought my road bike used, and with it came a cute little frame pump... which didn't get me past 30 psi!! I'm also supposed to ride @ 100/110psi. I invested in the Topeak Road Morph-- it's like a frame pump that turns into a mini floor pump. I can get my tires up to 110 in nothing flat! It's definitely heavier than CO2 of course... but I don't mind. I've read reviews that say the gauge can be innacurate.. but I haven't had any problems so far.

Cheers
