| Flat Tires |
Let's say you are planning a long
distance bicycle ride or are considering a little bike tourism.
You will need some Tuffy Tire inserts and some green goo in the
tubes. The tires you choose matter very much, not all tires are
created equally. Be sure to ask your local bike mechanic and get
the best, do not substitute on tire safety or toughness.
When riding you will be able to avoid road debris
that could flatten your tires simply by watching as you ride, in
rural areas, but in the city it's hard to do because of all the
traffic, activity and the amount of debris and broken glass on the
road. I can tell you this, I rode for over 1000-miles without a
flat tire down the Oregon and California coast, but as soon as I
hit Santa Monica, Los Angeles, and Orange County, I had three flats
in less than 120 miles, not funny. |

This is because city dwellers
throw glass out the window and work trucks and miss maintained vehicles
deposit slivers of body parts, metal screws and construction materials
on the road ways. It's dangerous enough crossing large expansive
cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, Denver, Atlanta,
New York, Boston, Phoenix, Orlando, Miami, Seattle or Kansas City
during the middle of rush hour while on your bike tour, your sense
will be focused on traffic and not road debris.
For safety purposes it makes sense to just forget
it, it's not worth dying for, wait out the traffic or consider a
bypass route that will take you around the city, before you even
get within 100-miles. |
Local bicycle commuters know the
danger points, you don't. This will also allow you to avoid road
debris and keep from getting more flat tires.
