cycling (not)

When I returned to Toronto, I took my bike in for a tune up because I'd noticed that it was acting a little "off" before I'd left for Tokyo.

I got it back this morning.

Naturally, by mid-afternoon I had my first flat tire. Happily, I've been carrying a spare tire, a pump, and those clip things you use to take off the tire. So in twenty minutes I had the tube replaced. This is nowhere near as good time as I'd made with Tracey's bike's tires earlier in the Summer, but I think my bike's tires have metal inserts in the rubber (yeah, sorry to get all technical - "metal in rubber").
