Is there soemthing I was doing wrong - do folks normally sling their bike - I don't think I have ever seen this???
I've never "had" to myself ( ::knocks wood:: ) but a buddy of mine had a blowout which destroyed the tire badly enough that he couldn't roll it (at least, not comfortably). And I suppose if you have a large investment in rims you probably don't want to take any risks. In that case, the taxi ride starts to look a little more feasible
