Why is it that…

…whenever I get a flat tire on my bicycle I’m wearing a light colored shirt?
It may not actually be the case, but it sure seems like it.
I had another flat today, thankfully the first in while. It must have been a slow leak because I couldn’t find anything that would have done it in either the tire or the tube. It was simply flat when I came out of the office today.
Luckily I had another tube with me. Why, I wonder, do I say luckily? There was no luck about it. I had another tube with me because I carry an extra tube with me all the time. In fact this very morning I had considered leaving all my stuff at home and riding to work “light”. I didn’t. Apparently I made the right decision. 🙂
And, while I was at The Bike Shop, my LBS, I asked them to tighten up the spokes on my rear wheel. Actually I didn’t know I needed that done. I sort of suspected it as I was getting a pinging sound that I couldn’t quite locate on anything but the wheel, but the mech at the shop confirmed it and took care of it for me in just a couple of minutes.
Aloha!
