Beware of potholes!
I’ve been enjoying my bike rides into work. I feel stronger and more environmentally conscious.
Yesterday, I wasn’t paying enough attention to the road and I hit a pothole. The kind where the asphalt has broken off and caved into the ground about 6 inches.
My skinny road bike tires didn’t have a chance. I blew them both out.
I was at the half-way point in my ride so I walked the rest of the way. The trek took me about 1 hour and 10 mins. It normally takes me 35.
I don’t carry a cell phone but I like to be prepared for these sorts of mishaps. So, I have a small pump mounted to my bike frame. The pump, however, is useless without an extra tube.
Next time I’ll be including extra tubes with my pump.
