Hey, I
like my apartment. Houses are money pits.

No one races crits with spare tubes and saddle bag. Unless you are like me and forget to take it off. lol

#29 violation! Nah, I do that myself sometimes. I actually did carry a spare tube and CO2 in my jersey for yesterday's race. Must be why I got dropped... But anyway, why would I walk back after a flat if I could ride instead? I didn't buy a bike to do extra walking.
I'm not put off by the time and hassle of tubulars. It's not like I have kids to take to soccer practice or anything; I might as well do something that enhances my riding enjoyment. I like taking corners fast and I look forward to seeing if tubulars offer any improvements there. And if I can get pretty decent at gluing them on, I will totally look down on everybody who can't be bothered! Hahaha!
