I rode my Gazelle to work today, great fun. Heavy traffic but it makes little difference. Had one flat but fixed it in about 10 minutes. This evening I decided to put a floor pump on that tire to see how well my frame pump had done earlier in the day. Lo! it was over 140psi. Not bad. But wait, the wheel won't spin freely. Well, what the ...? There a broken spoke on the rear. Dang, when did that happen? Must have been near home because I had no trouble on the ride. Okay, so tomorrow I take the Bianchi.
