The flat tire

Pump it up!

Sometimes bicycles aren't perfect.

This thought occurs most frequently what a flat tire enters the usually blissful world of bicycle reliability.

Once every couple of hundred rides comes a funny feeling... Tire? Flat? Shit! Stop!

But having lived lives full of that priceless item called experience, we carry a spare tube, pump, and patch kit whenever we ride.

And that means that a flat tire does not ruin our day.
