I got my bike out of the storage closet this morning to go to work and the tire was flat. Jaime was long gone, so I went to the Jiffy Lube around the corner to see if they could fill it up. It wouldnt take air so I rode to work on a flat tire, which was not fun.
I tried to patch it at work, but it didnt take. I should say... Before leaving I grabbed an old tube and a patch kit and tried to fix the old tube at work because the one on it was destroyed by the time I got to work. But the patch didnt hold. It would hold air while I was on the bike but if it just sits there it loses air.
After work I went to the REI by our old aptartment and got 2 "slime" tubes. I havent put them on yet. Hopefully theyll be better then the originals and the replacement one I got at target.

Is it extremely expensive to just go buy a new tire? All that running around and spending moneys on the quick fixes just doesn't seem worth it. 3
sorry to hear about the assy day though.
Ummmm, no. Its not extremely expensive to buy a new tire (or tube as the case may be). Which is why I did do that, just like I said I did. "After work I went to the REI by our old aptartment and got 2 “slime†tubes." All the "running around" was to facilitate getting to work and then to the store afterwards. Not as an effort to save money.
