It’s like ray-ee-ain on your wedding day
For those of you keeping track, I got a flat (on the bike) on Tuesday. I decided to go to Performance Bikes after work to spend some of the store credit on my customer loyalty card. After a day or two on the toe clips, I had realized that they’re a little too small, and, though I carry around a patch kit, it isn’t going to do me a lot of good without a tire pump. I got some “large” clips—the largest shoe size range claimed was 10+, and they’re just barely large enough,—a pump that clips along the tube next to the bottle cage and which makes a claim of easily inflating tires to 100psi and beyond, and, while I was spending fake money, a spare tube in order to cover a wider range of roadside disasters. Then I ran over a nail in the parking lot.
