Offending the puncture gods
Also known as goathead burr. Very common near beaches in tropical climes. There are a reasonably aggresive establishment plant i coastal dunes. They are present near most beaches (and open space) in Townsville. I don't mind if they stay near the beach (MTB has tuffies) but when the slashers drag them onto the road I get punctures. In summer I don' use the road bike at all. Or that might be because it's too hot. They were called catheads in northern NSW where I grew up. The gree leaves close up when you touch them - venus flytrap like - but when dr the thorns are just plain nasty. Used to carry a puncture kit at al times as a kid, the old hot vulcanising variety. Thanks to catheads I go lots of practice. Some things you just want to forget -- branded |
