I get mine in bunches...end of August 3 punctures in one week. Nothing since I should start carrying my spare tubes again i've gotten less paranoid with time...

WOW!! That is some great statistics! You must be fortunate to live in an area with a mild climate. It has been cold, wet, snowey, icy, and cold here!

So my commutes have been non-existent...oh yeah I forgot, I've been retired for the past seven years...no job!!! Let it be known, there is a down side to being retired!

On the puncture subject, I have had 2 puntures on my conti gatorskins, the last yesterday according to my bikejournal i have done around 6500km its now starting to show signs of wear, with some large blemishes on surface ie, glass holes which havent gone through to the tube.

On What sort of distance should i be looking to change this tire, and would you go for the same or is there something else that is better

Ride both ways was fast and smooth. Rode the fixed gear, it's now the primary commute bike. I had to tighten the chain and adjust the chain tensioner. Should stay quieter now. I just couldn't get a couple of traffic signals to trigger today, and it was the second day off in a row that I ended up working. At least I got to ride.

Cold this morning! I started wearing shorts in last week and it was a bitterly cold 35*F outside. Oh well, spring is in the air.

Commute was fine, but I felt like I was in a mental fog the whole time. My body seemed to know what it was doing, but it seemed like mentally, I was "off" today. Must be the lack of sleep/coffee.

Tear-the-skin-off-your-face WINDY!!! Ok not THAT windy, but you get the idea....and it'll be 10-15 degress C colder when I go home.
Jyosarian...WOOT!!!

Trying to scare me awake Bubbles? :p BTW, thanks for the ticket!

A bit chilly today. It shouldn't have been, but I decided that I didn't really need my windbreaker. I was wrong.

Nice and warm (nearly 50F), humid.

Perfect in Denver. 35 out, up to 60 later today. Nice dry roads, with a bit of overcast sky so the sun wasn't blinding me on the eastbound streets.

I'm on business in St. Louis, where I picked up a folding bicycle. I rode it in to work today. It was nice, with weather up to about 60 deg F.

Awesome weather. Semi-drive pavement both routes...very rare...a welcome change

I have this week off! :D

So I managed to get some road rides in over the weekend and today ran errands on the Buzz. so happy to have gotten through the winter with (knock wood) no major mechanical issues on the bike. Of course, just as I was, literally, having that thought I was whipping through Harvard Square and flying into the tunnel that comes up to Cambridge/Kirkland Street and I'm nailing it to go through there taking up the full right hand lane and leaning hard into the curve at the bottom of the hill as it enters the tunnel and there, right in the middle of the lane is the mother of all pot holes. I've gone from the bright light of day to the dark of the tunnel and it's hard to tell just how bad the pot hole actually is and exactly, "How deep is that pot hole?" Well, by now I've nailed it and I'm just hoping it's not so bad that it's going to send me sliding on my side through this dark tunnel and I'm through it but I can tell I've hit hard on that back rim. But the bike holds like a champ and I get through it but as I hit the brakes at the next intersection I realize something ain't right with that rear wheel now. I dinged my rim! It's pretty bad but I can fix it. It took a heavy wallop and I'm amazed I didn't taco my wheel I hit so hard.

Had a good ride otherwise but my legs were heavy from the road rides and the wind was hard and cold in my face the whole ride home.

did you buy one or rent it? What kind? 'ja like it? :)

First morning in ages I had too much to wear!

It felt great, means spring is somewhere in the neighborhood, right?

Left earlier than usual, saw another commuter with no front light. he was completely invisible from the front, although he had a decent rear blinkie.

Got to work before my boss showed up with the keys so I did some stretching and so on until he arrived. The electrician waiting in his idling car in the parking lot probably thinks I'm a fruit.

The 40mph gusts on the Manhattan Bridge were pretty brutal.... no fun today.

-21C.. ...-32C with the windchill.
chilly...cover ALL exposed skin.

I rode to school today in single digits. 7 degrees I believe. It was pretty windy too. Hopefully it will warm up by the time I have to ride home.

Worst commute ever this morning. I've done colder, and I've done windier, but today's combo of the two was a killer. By necessity, I ride south, then west (the longest bit) then north, and the wind seemed to be in my face the whole way.

Kind of weird seeing all the bad weather out east instead of out here. Other than the ice, the conditions are great here. Learned yesterday that it's a stupid idea to take the dirt shortcut when it's thawing. My drive train did not like me very much.

Did another long detour towards the Delta on the fixed gear before heading back north towards the office. I chose a straighter and better paved route than my usual route but there were too many cars passing me at 65mph+ to make it enjoyable. I'll head back to the levee tomorrow.

In the elevator a guy asked me how far I rode. When I said "about 28 miles," his mouth literally hung open.
