Acorns (Read 10 times)

    Just FYI if you're like me and zone out when riding your bike - acorns can cause near wipeout experiences and flat tires.  Lesson learned.

        How did you get your tire fixed?  Did the YRT bike support person come to the rescue?

         - itri - 

          i received no roadside assistance , i pulled out the piece of acorn from my tire but have not changed it yet -perhaps we should equip the yrt support personel with a pager?

            Did the tire actually go flat? The little acorns sound like a tire exploding and sometimes they shoot out from under the tire but I have never seen a flat from one. You also need to watch out for the squirrels trying to jump through your spokes. They never seem to make it.

              well the tires have dry rot anyway, i may can just pump them up super high and be able to ride ok- like it didn't make that psssshhhh sound when i ran over the acorns. If i hit a squirrel i would def wipe out.
