grrrr today was frustrating. 2 days ago I picked up an old Schwinn Suburban to replace the wal-mart bike I'd been riding. I stayed up late last night getting it ready for today. I rode it around last night when I was done making last minute adjustments. This morning I get up get ready pack my bags and head out. I make it two blocks and my rear tire goes flat

Not to big a deal I have a patch kit and pump with me. I find a spot under the tree and start pulling the tire off. Once i get off I realize the PO had put an inner tube that was to large on the bike . I go ahead pull it off find the puncture and patch the tire. I pump it up to make sure it'll hold air then reassembled everything. I re pump the tire and take a moment to chillax. I hop on the bike and the tire is going flat again

I was only two blocks from home so I walked my bike home removed my bags, tools, and pump from the Schwinn and installed them back on the Wal-mart bike. I was pissed off by the whole situation and I pushed it pretty hard . . . . .made it to work in record time. lol. I hate to say it but the wal-mart bike bailed me out today. I'm thinking a may not take it back to the store now and just keep it as a back up.

Looks like the next thing I'll be buying is some puncture resistant tires and some inner tubes that are the right size.
