Flat Tire


So, no spectacular images this week.  
Sometimes a picture is taken to tell a story and that's what this weeks photos do.  Wednesday my friend, Angie, invited me on an after school bike ride.  
So I raced home after school and took down my bike from the hook it hangs on in the shed, but not without injury. (My bike is heavy!)  
Then Jakey and I searched for the adapter to go on the foot pump.  (My tires were low from not being used all winter.)  The problem was neither of us had a clue what we were looking for so therefore we couldn't use the easy foot pump.  
I took Les' hand pump and pumped away......only to end up breaking the stem on my back tire which rendered it completely flat.  
No bike ride that day!
Who knew that if you use that type of pump wrong it will break your stem?
I'm actually a little embarrassed to tell you all that I don't even know how to air up my own tires.  I've never had to do it, because Les always takes care of it.
