Made the coffee and looked out the window. Blue skies. The fender on my main summer commuter is kind of screwed up right now. I'll ride my skinny tired road bike. The one I bought to go on Sunday morning group rides. I gotta haul my computer back to work. Better use the messenger bag. Toss the pump and spare parts in with my thermos and stuff. Lets go. Oh, tires look OK. I pumped them up on Sunday. I'm off.

work work work (maybe some BF surfing too)

Too late to bother with taking the computer home tonight. I'll just go light. Hmm. didn't bring those velcro straps to mount the pump on the top tube. Oh well. I'm outa here. I'll just leave all this stuff in my office.

Rides 1.5 miles.

Thump thump. Woa, what did I run over. Jeebus. Knocked me outa the clipless pedals. Hey kinda noisy in the rear. %$^&*@. Pinch flat in the rear? Ooops. Well, there's Wallmart.
...
Walk walk walk. Ring ring ring. Hi honey, its me. I'm at Wallmart. I had a flat tire. Can you come get me?

Finally happened. Call of shame. Maybe I'll learn a few lessons here. I think I've about had it with skinny wheeled bikes. Thats two flats in two weeks on road bikes. I road a whole year on my MTB without having to deal with a flat on the road.
