Dreamt I was riding my first road bike down gravel roads last night and it worked better than expected. Bought in the early 80's when I was in the Air Force, this was my first real bike not from a hardware store. Dug it out of the garage this morning to check everything, maybe an easy ride if it warms up. Front tire inflated easily (Presta), but had to reconfigure pump for back valve, which inflated and immediately emptied. Not only is it a Schrader but it doesn't have an inner core. Yeah, it's been a while.

A year after buying it, blasting down a steep hill in Rapid City, I noticed a bad transition between road and railroad tracks ahead. Just enough time to shift weight and hold tight as it hit the tracks, splaying wheels in two places, tires instantly flat. I didn't have money for new wheels, so bike shop straightened them the best they could. Ever since it's had a slight *thump, thump* when brakes are applied. ":^)
