WOW! :)
Keep on makin' it, somehow! :)
Riding through North Carolina, got a flat front tire! To put that in perspective, I've had like twenty rear flats since the last front flat. While taking out the wheel, which was jammed in tight, oops! The metal pin that holds the wheel in the bike snapped. All my patches and tubes weren't holding. Finally, after lots of efforts, I got an old thing in. Wrong size tube, with a gaping hole in the valve stem held together by a rubber band. My bike is now literally held together by duct tape, zip ties, and old bike tubes with a rubber band! :)
Walked a few miles to a highway exit with a gas station that had a few hardware parts, mostly for trucks. Found a couple of parts (not meant for a bike) to hold the wheel in place. Camped out for the night. Then, this morning, rode on, and the thing amazingly held together. Now in Zebulon, North Carolina!!! :)
This place advertises itself as "The Town of Friendly People", and they really are!!! :)
Gonna go get some spare bike parts, and make a big push for the cities...
Rock & Roll!!!!!!!! :)
We really give a hoot!
