I got a new bike and get my first puncture! Love riding just not the bike. :)
The puncture took me 2 days to work out and I went through 2 inner tubes, one I over inflated and it burst and the other split and it "pinched" when expanding. When I "you tubed" how it should be done, I did the whole thing in 10 minutes. Just have to put it down to invaluable experience.
Update on riding a bike to train station after the back wheel got stolen costing me £108 to replace.
- Swallowed some flying insects which tasted horrible.
- Learned to pedal correctly with front of toes.
- Right leg of trousers ruined by getting caught on crank.
- Chain sometimes keeps coming off which is a pain because I have to dirty my hands putting it back on. (I do not like manual labour).
- Got soaked in the rain, everything wet including socks and underwear.
Still enjoy it. :)
Because of the rain I have a bright yellow rain coat which cover me and the ruck sack and legs. I only wear it if I have to.
@Master back to the fun of sore legs and back side for a day or two on Monday.
Don't forget the bright yellow rain coat. ;D
Went to a bike shop and saw a quality black jacket which I thought was £9.99, went to the counter and the price was £99.99! Why do they think they can inflate the cost just because it is a bike shop. Ridiculous and made me feel a prat.
Why is this in the exclusive thread, this needs to be off topic? @Andre
