And I don't mean hunky, LiT!!

My morning:

Up at 4am to change a befouled nappy.
Out at 6am with Wilma for walkies
Back at 7am to get bike out of shed bike in perfect nick with lovely full up tyres!)
Get change and go back down to waiting bike
Flat rear tyre
Tyre sidewall all ripped out....

Now, I have a dilemma. I left Wilma in the garden with my bike - so, has she bitten through the tyre and tube? Or was the tube over full and justy blew out anyway....2 year old Specialized Armadillo tyre, bit worn!

Whichever way, I am sure that Wilma will get her dinner tonight!

    Wilma is obviously jealous of the bike :wink:

    I would check she hasn't cut through your brake cable as well. Bet she's sniggering to herself right now...

    Now I've calmed down.... none of my dogs has ever touched a tyre. Lulu the great dane is partial to bar tape, though.

    Hmmm - went to replace tyre last night;

    Removed wheel from the bike - hub bolts immediately broke off the axle - corrosion! Major boo as I have just ordered a new rear hub!

    I wanna be on my bike, it's sunny!

    1) bike left in garden
    2) cat wees on bike
    3) dog shows increase interests in cat-flavoured bike
