2 flats before officially leaving work PM. fixed the first at the office, went about 1 city block, and it was flat again. walked back to work, found that the glue-less patch was the culpret (did not hold), so i threw a new tube on. these, and the rear flat last week, take the fun out of riding, sometimes. once the tire was fixed, i flew!! AM in was fast also. downtown is showing a growth in LowRiders with a new shop sporting impressively designed machines! kind of like rock/roll to rap, i don't quite get the concept, but have not actually ridden one yet either!
