Punctured by a jelly fish

[Taywood]

This morning 5.30am riding along our local estuary footpath at Skippool I was passing the moorings
of some crappy looking yachts and motorboats when I saw a jellyfish on the track. I rode over it and
squashed it. Within 3 seconds - FFFllat

A fisherman must have come in on the high tide about an hour before and when sorting out his catch
he must have dumped the alien thing. I checked the squashed bits, no teeth, no fishing hook, nothing
stuck in the tyre. I walked back a few meters, no sign of any sharp bits.

This was a hot weather pre breakfast Sunday ride, tee shirt, bib shorts and no tool kit. Fortunately
its only a one mile walk home. The tyre's not damaged or marked but theres one single hole in the
tube. So what caused it? In case it was the Paving Slab Fairy (an eccentric English woman who doesnt
like to see grown men in bibshorts), its back to baggies for me. Mike

I accidently stepped on a jelly fish once at a beach on a European vacation, my right leg was
paralyzed for a few hours until I took into the emergency ward to have some injections put into it.
It felt like I was dragging a dead stump around...

If a blob of jelly can cause such venemous pain to the skinhardened leg of a mountainbiker is it
possible for the blob in one last dying effort to make a one point stab thru the thick tread of a
knobbly tyre into the soft rubber tube inside it? I wonder. Mike

Believe me, the PSF is all woman and I should know as I am she.
