Awesome ride in this morning. Only one half hearted attempt on my life.

Stopped at a red light, no other cars in my direction. I take off on the green, and Mr. Lefty turn from the other direction takes off as well. Needless to say, I already knew it was going to happen and jammed on the brakes. He gave me that "HaHa, Whoopsie, sorry I almost killed you" wave and smile as he continued his turn without slowing down. Putz

Figured out my chronic flat problem with the new Fetish bike this weekend. I was getting mystery flats every 30 miles or so. No thorn or anything would ever be present. Found that the rim tape was too narrow and left the spoke holes open. Given that, it takes about 30 miles for the tube to pop it's little bubble.

I think this might be why the previous owner sold the bike. It had Armadillos, tuffy liners, slime and he was complaining about all the flats you get on a road bike. lol weeeeeee
