The bike is in the hallway and something is wrong with it. Hallway Bike is for that one bicycle: the soft tire, the light that did not come on, and whether you ride it tomorrow.
The Flat You Feel is the tire under your hand. Light and Lock is the lamp and the lock you will actually use. Tomorrow's Ride is the check before you wheel it out.
Each page finishes one job on this bike. A pressure or a minute is an illustrative example unless you are reading it off your own tire.
The flat you can feel, the light, and tomorrow's ride.
