It's part of how we survive out in the sticks.

It does take some of the newer ones a few years to relax into actually talking to neighbours, but most of them get there eventually.

It was a 3 hour round trip! <br />Try that in a big city.dweeze (Johnno)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02569604526647866341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-48161638263198209472022-05-10T09:05:57.314-04:002022-05-10T09:05:57.314-04:00I usually keep a patch kit but had left it in the ...I usually keep a patch kit but had left it in the car when we had car tire issues. Also discovered my small hand pump would not fit on the rear tire. I'd only tested it on the front. The rear tire doesn't have much room due to the hub being bigger for the drum brake. Kit's back on the bike along with a 12 volt pump.

Yeah, points for rural in that scenario. Glad to hear you were able to fix it right on the spot. Might be an idea to carry a patch kit on board if possible. A compressor may not be doable - or maybe yes, technology is remarkable these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
