whats up. So, let me tell you about the worst (bike) day ever.
So, I was supposed to go to the Pittsburgh Critical Mass today. It was gonna be my first 'Mass ever and be real sweet. It was 70+ out today and which is basically a huge anamoly for Pgh. Anyway, I went downstairs to grab my bike and noticed my tires (1"ers) were low. So, I decided to pump em up.
Pump PUmp PUMp B000M - HISSSSSSS. I blew my back tube! AHHHHHH. Does this happen to others often? I mean I didnt think it was pumping to much. I was just trying to get them nice and firm.
So, I ran back in my place, grabbed my 1.5's and tubes and proceeded to strip 4 rims and put the 1.5's on my bike, only to finish at the exact time the critical mass crowd left! Gah, talk about horrible. I missed a great ride too from what I hear.
What a crappy end to an otherwise incredibly productive day. greh. i give up. -nrs
