bang

an interesting post-script to the bike tyre saga. Managed to scam a ride home, so was changing the tyre in my living room, as you do. Put the new tube in, grabbed my other bike pump and began pumping away, as you do. It was getting kinda hard but the gauge only read 30psi, so I kept on pumping, as you do. And kept on pumping and pumping until ... bang!! The damn thing exploded and almost blew the wall out of my tyre!! Much like jumping on a ballon, only about a million times louder. Good thing I owned more than one tube. Took a little more care the next time round!!

Heading over to Franz Josef glacier tonight with my cousin to play on the glacier for a few days. Something for her masters. Will post lovely west coast pics when i get back :op
