Bus Today

Had to take the bus to work this morning. Pumping up my rear tire before leaving I noticed a cut through the sidewall with the tube bulging out. It seemed likely to pop sooner rather than later and the prospect of fixing a flat and booting the tire on a cold morning and being late for work into the bargain wasn’t very appealing. I would have had to make sure I actually had something to boot the tire with along with me too. This is the second time on the bus this week, as on Wednesday I took the kids to the dentist and then took the bus to work. I can put on my Pari-Motos to replace the damaged tire but I think I’ll want to get something cheaper and more robust for fall commuting.

What to buy?
