He said he hardly ever had a flat when he used both of those in spite of very rough usage and a lot of miles, until he wore out his tires (and I have spare tires, as well as other parts).<BR/><BR/>KathleenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599714206457828409.post-36141534414390758412009-02-03T01:38:00.000-08:002009-02-03T01:38:00.000-08:00Thanks for the comments, I love my bike for it's m...Thanks for the comments, I love my bike for it's multiple uses and reasonable cost. It's great exercise and suitable in multiple areas. #1 son will likely find his tire flat at some point this week and be required to add air(I've shown him how), hopefully it will be a start to his lessons in maintaining his 'ride'<BR/><BR/>Bullseye, if you're riding your bike in this weather I hope you have some chains on! I think you guys got hit worse than we did over Christmas, and it was the most snow I can recall in 30+ years around here.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14533347291309726992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599714206457828409.post-41121229093296012542009-02-02T22:05:00.000-08:002009-02-02T22:05:00.000-08:00Bikes are a great BOV and just good to have around...Bikes are a great BOV and just good to have around for peak oil transportation.

Love it.<BR/>Have to think that kids are the same all over: mine wouldn't touch his bike to repair it, either. I cured him of that by not doing some work on it when he really badly wanted to ride.
