Terrible is the word for my commute. I suffered the third flat in so many weeks. This time the rain pelted me as searched for my spare tube and didn't find it. I went to a not so local bike shop and bought some bigger heavier tires and tubes. I was running Redstorm street 700c x 23's with bontrager tubes. I am now running some japanese tires and tubes 700c x 28's. Worst of all I had to drive my car today.
