Wouldn't you know it. You heard it right, another flat. This one was on the front. An easy change by comparison. but once it was all said and done I did a quick check and the brake pads are resting on the front rims. Even I , the bike repair novice, knows this can not be good especially in a town that half of the streets require breaks not peddles!
So I google and there is one bike store and only a few blocks away so off I go with the breaks rubbing. I get to the shop 30 minutes before they open and then think, "I wonder if you-tube has this on it?" well of course it does, and by the time the shop opens I have found the right video. But for now I'll let the professionals take care of it.
The guys at University Cycles of Tallahassee were Great!Checked my breaks, tires and lubed my chain. It needed it, lately I have been wearing a bit of grease.
Of course waiting on the shop to open and then the work made for a late start again. And there still are all the hills in Tallahassee. So I was slow going this morning, I am not sure when things started to smooth out but they did eventually. I made some good time to catch up for the day and made it in before dark. I was a little worried about that. I don't want to ride at night especially tired.
I have scheduled a long day for tomorrow. Hopefully, I can make up some miles.
Good Night. I will get back to you tomorrow.
