>How very tiresome….- #1329

Merrily zipping into the Big Smoke on the velocipede the other day along the farm tracks and through the undergrowth when I feel the tail waggle that tells you that all’s not well with the rear wheel tire.

Less resistance to the thumb that there should be.

Look for a culprit

Find this

Not that I’m complaining, but this is the 4th bloody flat tire in less than 2 weeks.

I wish someone would have a talk to these acacias and tell them to stop attacking me….

>Very tiresome, indeed. I'm glad to see you've documented the crime and the evidence. I hear acacias have deep pockets. (Yes, mine was settled last week.)
