Michael brought my bike up for me before his party this evening, so my bike has returned.

Unfortunately, it has tires that I’m not sure I like. The tires are 700×23C, and I’m used to riding on 700×26C tires. They look entirely too thin and fragile for my tastes. Apparently, they’re very hard rubber and less prone to punctures, so that might be good for me. They also have a bit of a tread to them, whereas my old rear tire did not (my front did). I’ll be going out for a test spin in a few minutes to see if I like them or not. If I don’t, I’ll have to find someone to change the tires for me – I really odn’t like doing it myself.
