Bike tubes and tires.
![]()
Funny thing today. First off, walmart was in order yesterday in order to purchase over a 100$ in bike tubes to do something free... There are science experiment thorns here that I swear jump on your tire and hang there until removed and then you get to hear the lovely wooshing sound of air pleasantly escaping your freshly replaced tube from the day before. Poor Chris spent about 3 hours last night replacing all 8 tires for all of our bikes which now I would have to say he's quite the expert.
Anyways.
Set out today with our freshly pumped tires on our adventure to decker lake to have a pick-nick and some geocaching knowing that Jesse's front tire had a small problem but figured we would roll with it anyway. (pun intended!). As we are on our way back Jesse looks down at her tire and sees the tube starting to bulge out on the side. We all stop to admire the sheer amazement of this and all of the sudden boom!!!! Jesses tire explodes!!!! Needless to say we all jumped and then started laughing. At least she wasn't riding.....
So, in honor of a busted tire we all walked the last mile back to the house. Guess I'm headin back to walmart to buy a new tire and yet another tube!!! At least it wasn't a thorn this time.
