-I bought two more spare tubes at the Bike Barn in Walla Walla and then used them 10 min later.
- Met recumbent tricycle expert and enthusiast at the Bike Barn. Informs us that recumbent tricycles are superior in all aspects to bicycles because they have one more wheel. BAM! third wheel.
-Nerds exist everywheres, sort of like mosquitos.
