For some reason, cars have been shredding their tires lately, and spreading steel belt fragments everywhere.
Flat 1, 18 miles from home wire fragment
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?
