Bikes are expensive
Awesome, check out what happened to my NEW tyre 45km into its first ride.
I rode over some piece of metal that I did kinda see, and it made this clanging noise and the whoosh and I was like “Fuck”. Of course neither of us had a pump for some reason so I walked it to the petrol station which wasn’t that far away luckily. Put a patch on the tyre which didn’t seem to help much, so I put some paper I found lying by the pump (apparently a $1 bill is good, but didn’t have one). As you can see it is bulging out but it got me back to the car a few k’s away.
I don’t blame the tyre, but I’m sure if it was tougher it might have been OK, not sure.
Also, I think that little Michelin man on the tyre is laughing at me. Hah.
Also, just went for a MTB ride and one of the 4 pieces of the egg beater of my right pedal broke off so now I need another set of pedals. Doh.
Expensive weekend.
Stupid bikes.
