Bad day for commuting, got 3 flats ya three damn flats and only had 2 tubes- going to buy some different tires tomorrow morning. Was a hell of a experience walking around east palo alto in lycra shorts and a bright yellow jersey (talk about a humbling experience) looking for some patches - then i find a autozone buy some patches and start to patch up flat number 2 (number 3 was a pinch flat) while attempting to air up the tires with the Co2 I noticed the tires were not inflating...so i held my ground (and the button heh) BANG!! the damn inflator deal blew apart and the Co2 cartridge shot off somewhere, never did find it. Lady in a car next to me thought a gun went off and was ready to cry. So now im like faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawk and start digging for my presta adapter - of course there is none to be found...where in the hell (had just bought 2 days ago)

so im screwed. called a buddy that was nice enough to hit up a bike shop and bring me parts...by the time this was all said and done it was 1:30 so i fixed up my bike and turned around to head home. Just got off the phone with the boss and am calling this day a wash.

im going to go pound about 6 beers right now


on the flip side this is the second week ive successfully commuted 3 days a week for a total of 150 miles per week (approx 50 miles a day)

cheers
