Wednesday morning, I walked out to the bike to go to work and found the rear tire flat with a small nail sticking out. I was quite annoyed, but my mind immediately raced for options. I called work and told them I would be a little late, but I could still make it. I would just need to find someone to finish my shift so I could get off a little earlier to get the tire fixed. Every single person I asked couldn't or wouldn't do it for some reason or another (a few had good reason not to, but most were just out of confessed laziness). When I finally got off work, and got to the house, my roommate backed his truck down the ditch so I could put the bike in the back to take it to the shop. After I loaded it, he couldn't pull the truck out because of the rain that had just started falling. I had to go to AO a little muddy. I wasn't able to get the tire fixed until this morning. But, it's all ok, because I didn't need that $180 anyways. :)
