New records


Third bike ride to work in one week (most so for in one week). It's been nice weather and so I've taken advantage. It could have been four rides to work in one week.

Day before yesterday, on the way home, I thought "well that is 5 rides (3 to work including last week Friday, and two going home) where I've had NO punctures. My luck must be improving.". Guess what. Went to hop on the bike yesterday morning and it had a puncture! So this tube now has three patches on it.

Trying to get some puncture tape to insert into the tyre. If that doesn't work will have to import some puncture proof tyres from overseas. Too much glass around in the suburbs - too many punctures.

This afternoon on the way home the chain fell off. Greasy fingers and 5 minutes of tugging to get it unjammed - but I managed to cycle up the hill after that.
