Back on the Wagon

by Jeff Strunk on Mar 29 2010

I haven't been riding my bike enough as transportation in the last few years. So, I am trying to kick my bus habit.

The combination of the start of long term construction on 7th st. and the bus detour for SxSW gave me impetus to get back on my bike.

I almost made it 2 full weeks. Unfortunately, my front tire was flat on Thursday when I was leaving work. When I removed the tube, it looked like the previous 3 patches had come loose. I didn't see anything poking through the tire. I replaced tjhe patches, pumped up the tire, and rode home. When I got home, my tire was almost flat again. I didn't have any spare tubes. I had to take the bus on Friday and buy a tube and some spares after work.

When I got around to replacing the tube, I checked for holes. My patches were fine. It was the valve.

I rode to work today. It was a good ride.

Now I need to get back into yoga.
