Here ends the lesson for the day. You now know everything I know about dealing with bicycle tires. It might even help you! 🙂
]]>Snakes, gators, possum, raccoon, fox, coyote, bears, dogs, and cats, but no iguanas – yet.
]]>I would do more biking if the area was minimally bike friendly, but people don’t notice bikes and you are apt to be hit by people stopping coming out of their driveways. This is mostly for trips to the pharmacy, and small forgotten items. I try to string trips together, but there are some things that have to be done immediately. It should be quicker and won’t disturb the cats sleeping on the car.
Moi, almost everyplace I normally go is within 4 miles, and the top speed is 45mph, so the time between fill-ups is nothing compared to anyone who commutes, or lives in the country.
I’m already thinking about getting new tubes, as they always put cheap crap in mass produced bikes and aren’t careful about smooth spoke ends. I have fixed bikes for the neighborhood kids for years, Steve, and know it will be a constant thing. The sand spurs can puncture a bike tire with no problem.
]]>Good luck on the maintenance. Just remember that ALL small bicycle parts are cat toys!
