Punctured!

Post by HoratioWondersocks »

Hello
Last Saturday I suffered a blasted puncture! :evil:
The good news? it wasn't in my tires . :D
The bad?
It was a can of beer, that had emptied itself over the contents of my pannier. :twisted:
Much sticky yuk! But resisted the urge to suck my Altura!
Steady Matron.

Better off without it. :)

Beer and cycling?

Take those electrolyte/caffeine tablet drinks with you just in case you get too dehydrated!
We'll always be together, together on electric bikes.

A bottle of wine fits very nicely into a bottle cage. A toe-strap around the neck of the bottle prevents any disasters when going over speed bumps.
Perhaps you could consider changing your tipple.

On the whole personally I would usually go for tea.

Hello All
The beer is most definitely for post cycling recreational purposes only.
It's dangerous enough out there ,without adding alcahol into the mix, but apre pedals!
Most excellent matey!

Modern beer cans are so flimsy they can split if you knock them on just about anything.

Your right of course, but it's the first time it's happened to me , perhaps I've been lucky so far (I do like to partake of ale upon a regular basis it has to be said :? )
I do carry lots of bits and pieces with me on a ride ,so perhaps the can was punctured by one of these.
I have got an old pair of fur lined ugg boot slipper things ,that I sometimes put my flask in on colder weather rides, i may have to switch those to Lager transportation duties when the scorching ,cloudless ,endless blue sky days of Summer are upon us.
8) Yeah right!

Lager? I thought you said beer?
A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those can extrapolate from incomplete data.
