The latest....

I was oh so fortunate to be left many things by my predecessor that make life much better, one of which is a bike.  And like I mentioned in my last post, this bike has some issues.  It is the loudest bike I have ever ridden(no joke). It produces the perfect sound effects for hollywood, I should record it.  It has the most uncomfortable seat ever made, and the brakes are not functional.  Its a Flintstone's stop..... I made alot of jokes around the unit about the fact that the bike was a little unsafe and not road worthy, they were to come look for me if I didn't make it in on time. However, I should have kept my mouth shut.  I lost a back tire today.  The ride to the clinic is about 2 miles.  I made it there and then half way back.  I have never seen a tire fall apart in such a capacity.  The external tread surface came off, the bearings on the inside of the axle fell out, and 3 of the spokes broke.  All in an instant.  I looked REAL cool walking this jacked up bike back to my CHU.  Now I'm on the hunt for a new rear tire.....
