Flat Tires

Over the last three weeks I have had four separate occasions in which my bike tire(s) went flat. It’s almost like the world wants me to have a car. And had they been car tires I would have let these instances single-handedly ruin my days, if not weeks. But because I know how to patch up a bike tire I tend to take the flats a little more in stride. Not to mention that the do-it-yourself ability of patching a tire up is a lot better than having to wait for AAA or a car mechanic to help you out. It’s just the tip of the iceberg in the do-it-yourself mentality that fills up entire books with ways to become more self-sufficient.

Though four times is a bit steep, so after the latest I finally wised up and bought a new tube.
