I'm seeing 2000 lb towing capacity, but if you're pulling a trailer not all of that weight is on your bumper, of course. Tongue weight is usually 1 tenth of towing capacity and that's what my google search indicates it is for your car. 200 lbs. So your hitch, bike rack, and bikes should...

Your Corolla, and any car or truck, has a limit on how much weight you can put on the hitch. Usually you put a trailer tongue on a trailer hitch, so the weight you can put on your hitch is usually called tongue weight. It should be listed in your owner's manual or you can Google it. Guessing...

Just my imagination speaking -- putting the wheel in a tub of warm water might have helped. Using a heat gun or hair diryer might have helped. I suspect the next time may be a lot easier. TT

I only drink the first sip out of every soda bottle then throw it out and open a new one. TT

I have so few flats I can't say I "keep" patching my tubes, but why wouldn't you patch a tube? It's easy and it works. As Flannel Guy said, you can often patch a tube without dismounting the wheel. And there's the cost. The cost isn't much of a factor, but still. I wouldn't hesitate to...

I know! It seems like the kind of thing Archimedes or da Vinci could have invented eons ago. Why are we just getting these now?! TT

Depends on whether we're talking about at home or on the road air pumps. That's kind of small but it's bigger than I'd want to carry around. And it looks smaller than I'd want at home. You're right though about running out of CO2. When it's gone it's gone. I always carry at least six or so...

As for pumps, I have 26" fat tires and (so) I carry several 25 gram CO2 cartridges. A portable hand pump would take an hour to fill up one of my tires. I've got a big ol' compressor at home, but I really feel the need to have a way to deal with a flat while out riding -- as opposed to calling...

Bell Helmets used that in their advertising for a while, except it was $10. "If you have a $10 head, get a $10 helmet. If your head is worth more than that., get a Bell." or something like that. That was way back when helmets first became required in Tennessee. A lot of people, including me...

I don't know if this would work on any level but what about a way for him to do a rental, Bird kind of scooter? Probably less expensive than buying just about anything, especially if it gets stolen. TT

I agree with the insurance point of view. Get a good lock, by all means, but theft is only one of the things insurance can cover. In today's litigious environment, if you brush up against someone or their dog, or put a tiny scratch on someone's car you can end up liable for much more than your...

This sounds about right. There is a difference between remembering and venerating or honoring the past. We (Americans) have made some shameful mistakes, even if not everyone understood our errors at the time. I think it's right to remember and even study those mistakes so we can hope to never...

It doesn't say how long it will run your fridge (for example). 2220 watts is impressive for one of these things, but I suspect it's more suitable for limited use, like making a cup of coffee and using a hair dryer once a day while camping. How much sun do you get? When the power goes out...

I know! Like when I bought my new cellphone-- I paid cash and they still hit me with a monthly fee! Don't they know how things work??? TT

This is a stretch, but I don't get to say it very often. I met Gunther Gabel-Williams. I got to load up the circus manure and put it on my garden after some composting. Elephants and lions, etc. TT
