Bike ride to work.... failed

It isn’t always easy to get up and ride my bike to work. The alarm goes off waayy to early those days. I do enjoy riding though, don’t get me wrong. I know how lucky am I that I am close enough to ride my bike to work.

Anyways, I was particularly looking forward to today, since I was meeting my friend V and we were going to ride in together. I don’t know what it is

but when I ride with her it just seems so much easier! I think it’s because we seem to laugh more than actually biking, but we always get there somehow.

Well, Brent was particularly spry this morning and decided to take a few action shots. Fortunately or unfortunately he didn’t get the shot of me being totally shocked as I discovered that my back tire was completely flat. Rude. I only had 5 minutes until I was supposed to meet my friend. So, I reshuffled all my stuff to a backpack and scooted over, on the scooter, to our rendezvous place.  I felt sad as she rode off but mostly only because she was going to burn more calories than me. Double rude.

Needless to say, it is now upon me to learn how to change my tire. (sigh) I guess better from the comfort of my home than half way between home and work. Right?
