Puncture, Peel and Pain on the Deepavali ride

940pm we left casurina and decided to head coastal, the long route. In my mind i was wondering if i could make back for a midnight movie. After deciding coastal, it fell from my need list i guess. Adjusted my seat 1cm higher as i felt as if i was squatting as i spun to the FUP. Winz and Elgin was already there and after the quick adjustment to the seat cycled into the dark of the upper Pierce Reservoir Road...

As we headed towards Seng Kang, winz discovered that his ride was getting a little soft. We stopped to check and his turbular rear had a flat. 23km into the ride on the side of the road and jo refused to provide service recovery. But for good reason of course... babies not asleep and babies are definately above bikes.

No worries there was super E. Faster then the rolling O able to leap capital T in a single bound and before you knew it, she was there. That was the easy part. She brought the bike rack but failed to bring 2 important components... the straps. duh. No worries, we figured another way to fix up the bikes.

We gave winz a life back and on the way decided to get some grub. Found a coffee shop near Winz place and had one of the best tasting hor funs you can find at 1230pm in the night. They even provide delivery service believe it or not. Anyways... got home and discovered the2nd P. Peeling... i was sure i fixed the bike firmly on the rack, but obviously not firmly enuf. Cos it was off the rubber piece when i got home and the paint had peeled off 2 parts. That was when the pain came... arrrgggghhh stab in the heart kind of a pain.

sigh - my beautiful bike.

Time to do a little RND about the paint work.
