Flat 2, heading back nice view! pulled two more wires out of the tire

Flat 3 was only three miles from home - I rode home flat and will throw away the tire, tube and maybe the rim.

Somebody has had better riding days than me! I wonder what the story is.
That stinks! Since there was no mention of fire ants, I guess you were spared that torture this time around. What bike were you riding this time around? Surely that isn't the Mercian, is it?
