For the past two weeks I have been trying to start biking to and from work some as I blogged earlier. The planets have not aligned to make this happen. First time I tried I got a flat after 2 miles. Had to walk back to the office and get the car and just drove home as I didn't have a spare tube or pump with me.
Second time I tried, I got 12 miles before the bottom dropped out of the sky. I was one drowned rat. Thank heavens for good friends who will drop everything and come pick you up -- and bring a towel! Had planned to ride in to work the next morning, since my car was still at work, but had another flat.
Okay, so now I have a new tire, am carrying a spare tube and air cartride with me, so I brought my bike to work today and hope to ride home tonight and back in to work tomorrow. With any luck, the air will stay in my tires and the cars off my back.
Remember to share the road!
