After talking to some friends, reading a bunch online, and asking this quite useful AskMeFi question<\/a>, I ended up ordering the following bike stuff(s):<\/p>\n

· Two Fort\u00e9 Fast City ST\/K MTB<\/a> Tires for times when I’ll only be riding on smooth pavement.
\n· One spare tube for my current tires, and a total of three tubes for the new tires. Unfortunately the three for the new tires were accidentally ordered with Presta valves<\/a>. Whoops.
\n· Crank Brothers multi-17 Tool<\/a> and Speed Lever<\/a>
\n· Tube Patching Kit
\n· Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance<\/a>
\n· Blackburn Shorty Mountain Bike Pump<\/a>
\n· Mirrycle Incredibell Original Bicycle Bell (Black)<\/a>
\n· Cateye CC-RD300W Strada Wireless Bicycle Computer<\/a>
\n· SKS Airworx Floor Pump<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I still need some gloves and a bag and lights. After all this stuff is here, then I can see what size bag I actually need, maybe fit a light to the bag, and possibly get some Scotchlite<\/a> tape to make the bike a bit more visible as it gets near dusk.<\/p>\n

I’ll probably also grab a second bottle and cage, just in case. After all, I really like water.<\/p>\n

The forecast for this weekend is in the 40s – 50s, so hopefully I’ll be able to go ride around a bit.<\/p>\n

Oh, and the problem with the order? The Amazon stuff is coming via USPS and DHL. The Performance Bike stuff is coming via UPS (I think). Some other stuff is coming via FedEx and FedEx ground. It’s a bit much to track, especially with the four Amazon items being delivered via three shipments. Guh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
