On Tuesday about about a quarter mile from home I got a flat tire… bummer. Especially since last week I had broken my cheap tire pump. I tried to go to a gas station and pump it up and then swap the tube, but the station closed at 11pm while I was there and I didn’t have enough change to run the $0.75 air pump again… oh well… Wednesday morning was rainy and I had some things to mail so I drove… Wednesday night my tire still felt like it was holding air so this morning I was pretty bummed when I was all geared up and hopping on my bike to find they tire was flat again. Oh well. I had been doing pretty well, riding all last week and monday tuesday of this week. I actually miss it now and driving seems boring. I’m excited to get a new trunk bag, rack, and tire pump from my brother in law, Andrew, this weekend! I’ve still been updating my commute times/speeds on the biking page..

Tony – you’ve been the man, keeping up with the biking.
If you ever end up with a flat tire again, you need to give me a buzz. I’m always out at the church, so I’m close enough to your neck of the woods to swing out and give you a ride. Or, at the very least, bring you $.75 for air :)
