What's that hissing noise?
Halfway through today’s ride, rear tire goes flat.
Heading up towards Boyce Park, I start hearing a hissing sound immediately followed by harder pedal strokes. At the top, I take a banana bathroom break, and gingerly ride the 1.5 miles back home on very little air.
When I arrived home, I was in luck, there was a spare inner tube in stock. Fixed the rear tire, heated up some pasta from the previous day, and shot back out.
Got my twenty in.
distance 20.00 miles, average speed 11.5 mph.
Charlotte, NC
Spent 10 years in Charlotte, a block away from an entrance to the McAlpine Creek Greenway.
Switched to a mountain bike from the road bikes I was accustomed to riding for 15 years.
The time spent on these trails was most appreciated.
