Today I leisurely rode into uni for the first time in awhile. Took it super easy to make sure my knees were working then I busted my gut on the way back home after. It felt so good to be riding quickly again. Also got a great pump in my quads, so hawt. I am a happy man today!

That kind of sucks. Providence is supposed to be having their "first annual" bike festival on Saturday. It's a fairly easy 30 miles RT for me to bike down, I'm not going if it rains.

Today I rebuilt the pedals on my commuter, while doing it, I saw the ones in my parts bin and shrugged why not and rebuilt those too.

I get that all the time. Either some jerk wants 50 grand, or some good hearted soul offers to buy me food.

While I like riding in the rain, I hate digging in the rain.

Brand new GP4000s, 0. Glass, 1.
On my way home from work yesterday saw some broken glass (actually quite a bit) in the bike lane, traffic was heavy so I couldn't swerve around it so well.
No biggy, these tires are rated high against punctures and I even put some handy dandy tire liners in, I'll be fine.
Wrong! A tiny sliver of glass must have got picked up and stuck between the rim and tire. One minute later, pop, hiss, and a nice hole in the sidewall. It was the back tire. I gave up and called for a ride. Less than 50 miles on them too. Grrr.
That said, is there any way to salvage it? The hole isn't gigantic, just looks like someone took a sharp knife and stuck the tip into my tire.

An other trick I use when i realize i have run over bits of glass; I run my gloved hand on the tire in an attempt to dislodge any bits that are stuck to the surface and may eventually work themselves through. Disclaimer: you may crash and die a terrible death while doing this.
Unfortunately this technique doesn't work well if you are running fenders.
