Stupidest reason for not riding outdoors today
It's warm(ish) and sunny this morning and I flipped the bike/run workouts this weekend so that I could ride outdoors today. After breakfast I went upstairs to swap out the rear tire on my tri bike from the worn-out, old tire that I use on the trainer to a tire more appropriate for outdoors. But...no tire levers. There's usually a few floating around the bike room (er, 2nd bedroom) but none in sight. I zipped open my seatpost gear bag expecting to see the usual 2 that live in there and...nothing. Wha? I looked everywhere - on my hands and knees, crawling around the floor looking under the futon, going through the trash can, tearing about the closet...nothing. How did they all disappear? And how long have I been riding without any in my gear bag???
I could have peeled the tires off with my hands but in the end decided to ride on the trainer because I didn't feel safe riding sans levers.
I'm looking at one of my dogs right now wondering if there are any floating around in her tummy...

You can say I've learned to travel extra light.
I've tried this trick several times and can't do it. You really need that tire to be well stretched to make it work. Or maybe I'm not guerrilla enough!
Skewer is an interesting idea!! Hmmmmm.
