Oh geez, it's just the opposite for me! I've had to convince DH I didn't marry him just for his Snap-On tools and instruction/supervision of all my mechanical work! (On the motorized vehicles anyway, he's useless with a bici.Originally Posted by beccaB

Anyway, great job Heif! And (as you'll no doubt learn one day soon) changing a front flat isn't even really messy (provided it isn't raining).If you're riding in your work clothes, you can always jam a pair of disposable nitrile gloves into your seat pack for those rear flats and chain drops. I keep a pair in my motorcycle tank bag, but never bother with the bici.

The gloves are great idea. Part of my commute is through a section of field and it had been mowed down the other day. I got tons of grass cuttings stuck in my rear derailleur and had to stop and dig them out before I continued on. My hands got covered in grease and dirt. If I'd had a glove that wouldn't have been an issue. Thanks for the suggestion Originally Posted by OakLeaf

"A bicycle does get you there and more. And there is always the thin edge of danger to keep you alert and comfortably apprehensive. Dogs become dogs again and snap at your raincoat; potholes become personal. And getting there is all the fun."
