So once again I got a flat tire on my bike, but this time it happened overnight, and not out on the road.
It was more annoying than anything else. It was also sort of unbelievable but at the same time I should have expected it. I've been do for flat tires. I hadn't gotten them in awhile until recently. I also seem to get flat tires in bunches. Hopefully I am done with those bunches of flats for the rest of the year.
Flat tires are more common this year than in the past according to my local bike repairman. With budget cuts less money is being spent to clean the roads so there is more glass, sharp rocks and crap over on the side of the road where cyclists ride. I actually have a habit of trying to ride in the middle of the road on local roads to avoid the stuff on the side of the road.
I would also like to take this time to address all of the people that throw glass bottles on to the road...PLEASE STOP...I am amazed at all of the liquor and beer bottles that are just thrown out on to the roads. I thought people knew how to throw things away into the trash or recycle them. It just seems so rude to me to not throw things away properly.
