With my new speed racer itching to get on the road on 2 wheels I promised her we would roll to the bike path today before I took a nap. I managed to get this really nice and expensive bike seat from Freecycle but it needed the bracket. My Super Cool Mom picked it up for me and Mr. FB tried to install it with no luck. It was not fixable as I needed to have 2 things on the bike that I did not have. UGH! Step 2- return the $60 bracket and just buy a freakin' seat at Walmart. So after we get it on my bike and everyone is bitching and moaning we head to West Falmouth. We are on for about 2 seconds when I realize there is something wrong-thump, thump, thump.
WTF!!!!
It turns out the tire popped off the bead so it is rubbing on the brake. I just parked it by a bench and hitched Ava on my back while Olivia sped ahead. She rode for a while and we saw millions of bikes, runners/walkers, dogs and roller bladers. It was a great day for the bike path. On the way back we stopped for a snack and a drink and then rode (thump,thump,thump) back to the car. As I was walking back thru the parking lot the tube finally exploded. I figured it could have been worse I wasn't riding with Ava on the back when it happened.
My life seems to be full of WTF's lately. Dryer-Broke. Blender-Broke spraying click shake all over. Laundromat sucks. Oh and pee'd bed with no dryer is extra special. So laundromat sucks again.
Once the bumps get smoothed out we will be on the road again but at least the seat is on and Ava had fun. Now I just need a bike rack-posting to Freecycle and Craig's list now.
