3 flat tires in a row??

If you're on a centrury, he knows there are lots more bikes coming, and he gets to use the same handful of tacks over and over. You're probably not the first sucker (strike that) willing customer he's had in the last few hours. |

One of the rode on the shoulder and went through a patch of puncture vines, betting possibly 50 or more leaks in each tire, all at once. The other fellow said, "where did you do that?" and went over to check it out. A minute later he had 50 or 60 thorns in each of his tires. The job fell to me to ride back and get the car. It kind of ruined our day. While on one of those cross country by bus w/ Dad because he doesn't ride airplanes to visit relatives along the way type trips I had a chance to ride my cousin's ten speed in the local neighborhood near Denver, CO. I swear I left a trail of bread crumbs to find my way back but riding though the park came up with two flat tires. (The kid in from out of town don't know to avoid riding the paths with the thorns), Top it all off I stopped by the police station, didn't get any help (I was lost) and looked at a map on the wall to get back to base camp. I walked that damn bike for over two hours looking for the landmarks I had seen on the way out, some Green Slime in the tires would have been a great thing in Thorn Country. TBerk |
