The commute that wasnt....
Of all the days.... I had to be to school by 9am to take a test (if your late, you get a 0
). I was running behind, because I decided to be nice to the wife, and let her sleep, so I took the kid to school, then backtracked to the house to get the bike. I got a mile down the road, and PSSSST! my first commuting flat! I pulled over, went down the embankment to get off of ridge Rd and started
"whipping it on". Then I BROKE one of my tire spoons.... With time running out, I called the pit crew (my wife and the other two kids
) and had them drive me in. Luckly the oldest gets out of school at 11:30, so she can pick me up when I get out at noon
I did manage to get the tube changed out while waiting of the wife, but just didnt have enough time to make it in.... And decided that I NEED a better frame mounted pump.... The BELL I have now, will allow me to limp home, but wont get me up to the needed pressure for reduced rolling resistance. To add breakage to inadequacy, my floor pump died this AM.... WHAT A DAY
. Any sudgestions on a new pump?
