I put the NiteRiders on the bike yesterday because DST ended and I knew I'd be getting home a little past sunset today.

But no commute today. This morning as I was readying the bike I saw a cut in the sidewall of the rear tire running from the bead to where the gumwall meets the black tread. The tube was just peeking through the hole.

I guess I'll hit the bike shop at lunch and pick up a new tire.

But tomorrow is another day.

I hate tossing the tire because it only has ~2200 miles on it and there's lots of tread left.

Can't use it on the trainer. It's a 700x32 tire.
