Not the Bike Ride I Planned

I got another flat today... that's 4 in about 2.5 weeks! It's crazy how I rode so much all spring and summer without issue and now the roads are full of debris and messing with my tires. I was about 12km from my house and had to call my Dad to pick me up. Luckily, $15 later and my tire was fixed and I rode home from the bike shop.

I got one today too. Luckily it must have happened just as I got back to the car. I need new tyres anyway, hardly any tread left on them

@yorkshirekiwi Our bike store has been trying to get these tires for 2.5 months. Everything is on back order... covid related!!

[Maggiemae]

Oh dear - this is what I'd hate to have to experience! I used to be the poor lady on the road with a flat tyre - car or bike and someone would help me.

Nice shot despite the circumstances

[Harry J Benson]

Hopefully it will be the last for the year

[Mags]

Oh my! Roads are bad every where and they keep collecting taxes for them, but nothing gets done.

[Milanie]

Can see by those roads where a puncture would be possible. Glad you were able to get Dad to pick you up - long walk toting the bike. Got some of a ride, anyway. Like that bike!

[Ingrid]

Oh no! But I like the pov for your picture and the color of your bike!

[eDorre]

Dang! Neat pov for the capture. Glad for the happy ending!

[Diana]

Lovely pov and bike, good that Dad was close by.

[Kathy A]

Thank goodness for Dads

[Monique]

Ouch 😣

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Ugh!!

[Casablanca]

😱😱😱

[Bep]

Bad luck...

[Clare Gadsby]

ugh punctures are such a bore. mr g seems to get one most times he goes out - always surprised his mates are still prepared to ride with him!

[Dione Giorgio]

Uh. Not a nice incident being away from home. But at least you didn't get hurt. And dad is always there to help.

[Helen Jane]

good to have a chauffeur at the ready! but a shame. I fear this happening to me when I go out on my bike. Mending punctures is not my forte.

[Kate]

At least it all worked out

[KV]

Nice POV and lovely pic... the flat... not much fun!

[Pat]

Oh no, what a bother! Great shot though...

[Pigeons Farm]

[Leon Buijs]

[Caroline]

Sorry about your misfortune, but it did give you a unique photo op.

[gloria jones]

Great perspective that gets right to the story of this capture

[Kathy]

This photo tells a story. Glad you had the resources to make the best of it.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Yikes, Lots of debris on the road, nice POV

[Louise]

Frustrating!

[Pat Knowles]

Oh bad luck Kim. Your heart would sink....you should always have a puncture repair kit on you!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Issi Bannerman]

So annoying! And fixing the puncture not always easy either.

[Jean]

great pov in this shot

[Pyrrhula]

The first job I realy learned when I was a kid . Repair a flat tire. Now it`s a piece of cake for me.

[Lois]

Great POV.
