Hi folks,

How about this.....

Set off in good spirits this morning when, about two miles into the journey PSSSSSHHHT!. I wrestled the bike to a stop and inspected the rear tyre to find a 3/4" cut in the sidewall.

I retraced my last few yards to find the cause (and save other cyclists the hassle) to find the culprit glinting in the sunlight. Yes folks, a fresh clean single sided RAZOR BLADE Don't know if it got there by accident or was left on purpose but that is a scary thing to find lying around. Taking care, I removed it, blunted the edge and dropped it into the nearest drain out of harm's way.

Then I was faced with the walk home again (via the bike shop for tyre and tube) and set out on the other bike. 1 1/2 hours to get to work today :irritated:

Have a good weekend,

Ed
