As the title says, can you belive it?
This afternoon me and my little cousin went on a ride on our local hils.
But on the way down, at the end of the trail my cousin punctures the two tires on some rocks, bumps at the same time.
What are the odds of happening this?

Went for a ride on Sunday and about 20 mins after riding through a load of cut down bushes the back went straight down on a road descent. No matter, I had one tube left, pulled out 3 thorns, all sorted! Went to get back on the bike but the front had gone down! There was nothing in the tyre either. I was all out of tubes so it had to be patched."Melancholy is incompatible with bicycling." ~James E. Starrs0

I once hit a couple of square-edged rocks at the edge of the trail in the woods a few miles from home, somehow managed to blow both tyres, and eventually had to patch up 13 holes before I could ride home! Was down to one spare patch at the end. Always carry a spare tube now!"The problem was, I was still using my eyes even though I had them shut"

13 holes? :shock: That's......
And I thought this was a rare thing, to blow two tires on one ride.
From now on I'll carry 2 spare tubes.0 -
On my bighit I have never had to, touch wood, even remove either wheel, which is a damn fine thing as I don't even have enough allen keys to remove the rear wheel. Although on my previous bike I got a puncture in the rear tyre right at the start of a ride, I ws absolutely fuming. Thankfully never a dual-tyre blowout but have had a multiple punctures in the one tube so had to stop a total of 3 times to patch it up.<hr>
Do what you fear, you won\'t regret it.
