The culprit

Yesterday when I came out of the gym, my low tire pressure warning light came on. That's odd, I thought. If anything, as hot as it is, they should have high pressure, not low. When I took the trash and recyclables to the curb this morning, I noticed I had a flat tire. :-(

Well, the culprit was this ¾" bolt. Fortunately, it was a quick repair (with a piece of “cord” stuffed in the hole), an inexpensive repair and I was on my way. To the gym again.
