I would need a blood transfusion if I had to wait more than five minutes among southern mosquitoes.Originally Posted by mickchick
I have no shame about those things and would call my husband to come fetch me.
The reason Mr. S. was riding along at 23 mph is because at 22, the mosquitoes will chase you down and kill you.
Good job, Mr. S.

Good job, Mr. Silver!
PS--I hate those tiger mosquitoes. They torment me.

If you're frugal (like me), and don't want to use acutal money to boot your tire, carry a small amount of duck tape in your seatbag, rolled tight. It doesn't take much room, makes a great boot, and saves your $$ for other things.
Glad you kept it upright!

You know this very same thing (without the flat part) happened to me - TWICE on my mountain bike. That seat bag just does NOT want to stay on. It's at best dangerous and at least annoying. I'm glad you didn't go down!
I can do five more miles.

It's my own fault...the last time it happened, it simply fell off and Silver ran over it.
It has a strap for the seat post, but I wasn't using it. So, I should have known better.
I agree that this is a bad design and could have been very dangerous in different circumstances like a group ride in traffic
