Bicycle withdrawal is starting to settle in.  I was almost certain that I had a spare tube sitting at home but when I looked I realized that I’m still going to have to wait until tomorrow to get my rear tube replace.  This has been the worst year on record for me when it comes to getting flats while riding.  It’s insane, especially this last instance because it was a brand new tube and it was supposed to be puncture resistant.  I cannot handle not riding my bike on a daily basis.  So my Lemond is now sitting at home on its back awaiting repair.

Adding insult to injury is the fact that the last few days have been ideal cycling weather and I’ve been relegated to riding the train to and from work.  So I’m a bit depressed but holding out for tomorrow.

I will look at it this way, spring is just around the corner and I am looking forward to many months of beautiful bicycle riding.  I really want to pull the fenders off of my Lemond Fillmore, they are functional and necessary but also ugly as shit.  So there it is, now you know the rest of the story…
