I was out for a morning ride when I noticed something was off. Sure enough, my back tire was completely flat. I'm pretty sure I need a new inner tube. I'll pick one up after work today.

My goodness, you never realize how attached you are to your bike until something is wrong. I kind of panicked, lol. Thank goodness I wasn't far from home.

Also, now I see why people check their tires often. I tend to check mine weekly, on Fridays. I'm kind of kicking myself for not checking it before I left today because maybe I would have noticed something. I don't know if this was a slow leak or if it happened suddenly.

  1. Well, at least you got to enjoy that morning gloriousness. Nice pic!

    After all these miles/years, I like to imagine that I can gauge PSIs by bouncing my tires off the basement (cement) floor. Alas.

    >Also, now I see why people check their tires often.

    Guilty: after *every* ride, I pull on a nitrile glove and inspect for debris.
