Hi All - I want to continue to ride but need some options...
I have been commuting to work (occasionally) for about 10 years on a Trek = 1200 Road Bike fitting
with a rear Rack. The ride is 16 mile One-Way which= takes +/- hour.
The first few years I had (1) Flat, the past couple weeks I have had 5!! - = all from road glass
which I never saw coming.
After the first two I replaced the tubes with those "Thorn Resistant" - It = took a bigger piece of
glass but they gave out. The final try was "Slime" = which sealed somewhat but did not hold air.
Both of these are EXTREMELY Ha= rd for me to replace and make me late for work (Boo hoo)
Option 1: I have a mountain style Bike but it is heavy and would probably add 10-15 m= inutes to my
ride. Grin and bear it?
Option 2: Get a different style bike that has bigger tires - Hybird?
Other Options.... Stone wheels -
