Tire was shot (I think a bunch of the bead on one side was gone). Between the tire, tube & labor it cost me $33.74. *sigh*<br /><br />At least they did it while I waited. After they fixed it, I walked the bike to the top of the hill and rode it back home. It's only 1.2 miles, mostly downhill.<br /><br />It still took a lot out of my. Sweating like a stuck pig, heart pounding, etc. And now, half an hour later, I've still kinda shaky. <br /><br />So I *definitely* need to get into shape. Probably stick to riding around the Albertson's parking lot late at night until I'm up to street riding.<br /><br />Also, the shifters need adjusting and the brakes need work. Plus, I think I need to raise the seat. <br /><br />It's gonna be a pain, but I do need to exercise more.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kengr&ditemid=1066087" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
