Bike Troubles, Repaired



I picked up a nice sized chunk of glass in my back tire yesterday. When I came out this morning to go vote it was flat as a johnny cake [or for our far northeastern readers, "griddle cake"]. (Astute readers will point out that while that joke seems sort of funny, the lexicographic inaccuracy of comparing griddle cakes [an irish soda bread] and johnny cakes [a mid-atlantic round of fried cornmeal] really renders the comedy mute.) Sorry, I've digressed terribly here.

I pulled the back wheel off, pulled the tire and tube and patched the fucker. (See below).



I overinflated the tires to 60psi, which has really improved my ride. It's possible that this will shorten the life of my tubes, but tubes are fucking cheap, no? Info on the election process and our caucus experience tomorrow!

UPDATE: I forgot to mention that today my blog is TWO YEARS OLD. That's a lot of blog posts, grandmother.
