Subject: Popped my Cherry (or my tire) Hello all...I would be the new guy.
Getting into the swing of cycling and getting much more comfortable on the bike. Riding along Rt. 30 (near Gettysburg ) I got my first flat tire. Glad I had changed a tire at home before, got the tube changed and tire on and back off I went.
About 20 miles after that happened my left pedal became loose and inoperable. I went as long as I could with one foot and then hopped off and ran the bike home the last 1/2-3/4 mile.
So I learned:
*It's good to have the right gear/tools
**Make sure you have ALL the right gear/tools as I had left my multi-tool at home
***Running in bike shoes is dumb
****Running in bike shoes in the grass is less dumb.
Hope you all have a great Sunday, nice to meet you. |
