I'm going by City Bikes tonight, but Chain Reaction said to check them out Thursday because they'll have tires for me then. These blown tires are Nimbus 700x28 from Capital Hill Bikes purchased just a couple months ago.

A tire in good condition also should not bulge, but rater blow off the rim, if you significantly overinflate it.

bbmike: any markings on the tires saying how old they are? No reason tires should bulge unless they're very old,or have a manufacturing defect. Both tires went,and it was the tires,no the tubes,right? If the tires weren't old,then it must have been a bad lot. If Cap Hill won't take them back,maybe you should contact Specialized.

I was thinking...
Where's a good basketball court/tennis court/playground in the DC area that we can play polo on, and not get arrested for being there after dark?
Keep your eyes open people.
We need options

2) Plus the track there is fun to ride on. My tires make silly noises on that material and I can hear it when I ride on the drops.

There was a guy in San Diego who rode with a prosthetic leg. There was an article in the paper about him testing out the aerodynamic properties of his leg in a wind tunnel.
Bladed, carbon fiber limbs, anyone?

When I hiked the AT there was a guy that was hiking it with a computerized prosthetic leg. He could do all kinds of fun tricks like spinning all the way around on one leg.

There was a one-legged biker back in Boulder who could kick my butt on his worst day. He was incredible!
