Back to last Thursday afternoon on the way home from work, flatted. First time ever. Honest! Let's say maybe 15 years road cycling since since '75. (I had a lot of years off the bike) Small tear-drop shaped glass thingie put a hole in my tire and poked the tube. Glad I practiced on my boy's flatted tubes this summer, so patching was no big deal, sitting in the sunshine, enjoying the day.
I saved my spare tire and spare tube for the ride in at 02:00 'cause I ain't patching at that time of the morning.
Did I already post here of this milestone? Hope not. But hey, biking is an adventure for me...
