Damn that's bad... I'd say more than just a mere puncture.

So I drop by the LBS (a sister to the one I work at on Sats for fun) during lunch time and they didn't have any decent replacement 20" tires in stock (this is my folder that I commuted on today) so I call my wife and ask her to pick me up this evening after work. Wouldn't you know it, although my bike(s) is my main mode of transportation year round I got heckled by passersby (including my coworkers) for loading my bike into the trunk of my car. Most of the comments had to do with not being able to hack the commute during Bike Week/Month.

On the way home I swung by the aforementioned shop where I work and found a couple of sweet soft-cased CST BMX Freestyle tires with a tread pattern similar to my favorite motorcycle touring tire of all time... Metzeler ME33A Lazers. I got home and mounted these little beauties... I'm ready to do some peg grinds and get some air in the bowls at the skate/bike park on my way to work tomorrow.


(BTW Funky... I find it freaky but I'm a Ubuntu guy as well... I also record with my grand daughter as you seem to do with your daughter.)
