A flat tire

I had my first flat since I started riding last month. I learned a couple about the Presta valve today. You need to open the little valve on the top to fill in air. This link tells a bit more (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gloss_p.html#presta).

In my previous riding life (more than 10 years ago) I always had the Woods type valve. So I even though I assume the entire biking world already knows this, thought might be useful to publish it here.

Also, a note about Bicycle Garage. I bought the bike from here and the folks are really helpful. You go there with any question and they are willing to answer it.
