I feel lost...

Aw, she's probably having fun with all the other bikes. Don't worry about her! She'll be home soon.

Thx ...lol... That's funny and true. Ghee, I hope they are nice. I wouldn't want her to pick up any rebel influences. Or well then again... if it would help me ride faster, then just maybe...

[kermit]

Oh yeah, she's partying with the pack. Just think how happy she will be to see you!!!!!!

[lph]

aw, c'mon, let a girl go to a spa, will ya!

[OakLeaf]

What everyone else said. She's taking a day off to get pampered!

Ask me about taking parts off your bike that you've never done before... jamming it into a shipping case you've never used before... consigning it to strangers and hoping the frame doesn't get broken... (it was fine, both ways )

That gives me chest pains just thinking about it.

Glad all was well.

The moral to this is to learn how to put on tires.

If you can't be with the bike you love

Love the bike you're with.

I agree. Mounting your own tires is good practice for fixing flats, which you indicated was a concern in your other tire-related thread. If you don't feel comfortable doing it on your own just yet, in the very least, go to the shop and ask them to help you do it. The mechanics I've worked with are more than happy to oblige.

If you don't already own something like this, I recommend buying a book on bicycle maintenance. That doesn't mean you need to commit to doing your own wrenching, but it is useful for jobs like this one and/or emergency repairs.
