I officially confer the title of "Puncture Capital" upon Canberra.
Thick tyres, correct tyre pressure, all of that didn't really matter. I still got a puncture and Murphy's law, it had to happen on a day when I 'forgot' to carry my pump along.
I also went a bit overboard and rode on a very small patch of grass, which also could not have helped my cause one bit !!!
I just made the cab company richer by 40 bucks !!
The cold, oh the cold is a hella deterrent to not be riding in the first place. But when you go out on a nice sunny day once in a while, you hope n pray that you don't get the puncture, but there it is a nice big thorn in your tyre. And I'm reminded out from the cab driver that Canberra is the "bush capital".
I always wondered what that meant, now I know, oh boy do i know. Anyhow, I still love the bike, as much as the first day I got her, if not more.
I've added some items to the wishlist so that this kinda thing doesnt happen again.
1) Get a carbon bike pump that can be attached to the bike ...Carbon cuz my bike is !! and i have a whole carbon thing goin on
2) Gloves !!!!!!!
3) Get BLACK tape for my handle ..to make a sexy biach ..SEXIER !!!!!
4) Flashy back lights ..so that I dare to wander out in the dark and cold
Anyhow, as I don the cap of mechanic again to fix my little puppy I really really really hope that I don't have to do this as often !!!
