Bad News: Blown Bike Tire

You know what really grinds my gears? Flat tires

Preparing to go on my first road ride of the season on my bike, I began to inflate my tires to proper air pressure using my hand pump.

The stem on one of my tires looked a little loose, but was in a hurry so I paid little attention. Next thing I knew and the piece broke off, leaving nothing to keep the pressure in the tube.

This blow out ruined my ride-not-to-be. I guess it just isn’t quite the right season for biking yet. Its still time to get out and shred the slopes!

But I will be out hittin the pedals soon enough. I can’t wait to be out biking again, in preparation for another sprint triathalon I hope.
