Yesterday was a lovely sunny and warm day. I decided on a little cycle to my favourite cafe. It's 5 miles away, 4 miles of which is along the canal. I decided to take my non electric bike. I decided to travel light. I tool just the essentials: A pump, small toolkit, puncture repair kit and a bottle of energy drink. I looked at my spare tubes and thought, "nah, what can go wrong in 5 miles?" Anyway, 3,48 miles into my trip I found out. I got a puncture. Now it wasn't just any puncture. My tube had more small holes than I had patches. Those teensy weensy thorns were right through my tyre and stuck in like nails.
Luckily, I have a wife, a car and a bike rack.
Today, my non electric bike is sporting a pair of nice new Schwalbe marathon plus tour tyres, there is also a spare tube squeezed into the small saddle bag.
