Rode LFT to Hyde Park and back yesterday. Lots of broken glass. Would have been much worse had I ridden city streets the entire way. I'm sure my tire savers saved my tubulars a couple times...

Got my second flat in a week yesterday. We need a hard rain or more street cleaners to wash that debris out of the bike lanes.

Probably would have had my third flat today if I hadn't noticed the tiny piece of glass embedded under my tread. It only became visible after I fully inflated. I had prodded and folded the tire during the fix looking for any puncture remnants, but it was well hidden.

Time for some new tread I guess

No flats (knock wood) but riding around yesterday I saw glass all over on the streets.  Clearly the St. Pat's day revelers were everywhere.

I also saw lots of glass in the lanes. Happens every spring, two years ago I got 2 flats within one week.

Got in my first ride to work all winter. A lot of glass and potholes along the way. Good thing street cleaning starts next month.

Huck, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think you missed winter. :-)

Um technically winter ends on the 21st amIright? Where is the pushes up glasses emoji when you need it? But yeah, I just don't ride in the winter. I can run all winter but the riding not so much.

Ride home was DUSTY!!! Some rain is definitely needed. Still felt nice riding home in the warm.

Well half a mile to take my bike in to be fixed.

What happened to your bike?

Derailleur broke once I got out of the train station.  Totally shot.  Wade and Ross did a temporary fix so I could ride home.  But it needs to be replaced.  And part of the frame is bent.  Its in the shop now...
