Mr. Fix-it picked up branches
in the yard in preparation
to mow – 5 acres.
I hustled around the house…
We took a quick out, to pick up
my car. It was in the shop.
We picked the time we would
bike ride together. We left within
7 or 8 minutes of that time. Pretty good.
At 8 miles I said, “I am stopping in the next
driveway, and having a drink.”
I do not like to drink and ride. I heard
a hissing noise as I was drinking from my
water bottle. I put my head close to the front tire.
It was losing air. RATS… is all I have to say about
getting a flat when you are bike riding. We did
not have a successful flat repair. So…Mr. Fix-it
began the ride back to our place while
I walked the bike along the road. He returned with
the jeep, and we drove the bike home.
Radio Flyer trikes don’t get flats.
Mountain bikes are hard to get flats on too.
But, significantly heavier, and a bit harder to ride.
