Oh The Irony!

I’ve been back on the bike in to work this week. It’s been quite a while since I regularly cycled in (over a year) but my average speed is slowly creeping back up.

One of the bane’s of my life was punctures (sorry, p********s). I was getting one a week on my bike a one point and I regularly carry two innertubes on the basis that trying to repair road bike tires is like trying to hold back the tide. I’m getting a hybrid bike on works newly set-up cycle2work scheme (probably a GT Transeo). My theory is that the wider wheels will enable me to get puncture resistant tyres that actually work.

So anyway…  Monday and Tuesday this week I cycled in and it was painful but uneventful. I decided to have a rest day today and drive in. So I get to the car, reverse out of my parking space and something feels wrong, and bugger me, my car had a flat tyre. Now that’s ironic, Alanis.
