I have recently had the displeasure of having a rear tire flat on my bike. Cruising home through the dips and valleys, curves and flats of the mountains gives you time to reflect on life. Sounds and smells come at you at any moment, making you hesitate in the revelry of the ride.
I came across on LEO with someone stopped along side of the road, I slowed down and rubbernecked the scene. (I had to know how much ride time I could get before having to reduce back into a law abiding citizen) Realizing I should ride about the speed limit, I got back into the groove of enjoying the day. Throughout the next two curves I lost handling on my bike, which anyone could understand my nether regions puckered.
Dropping in speed quickly, without the use of brakes or down shifting, I managed not to get run over and to the side of the road. LEO came to my rescue, stopping traffic, allowing me to find a safe spot to stand the bike onto its' kickstand. I am waiting to hear from the shop about the rear tire and any damaged or malfunctions that may have resulted from this mishap.
See you on the Road!
