Riding between the raindrops

It’s a wonderfully fresh day in Perth today. We had some great rain overnight.

I managed to avoid the showers on my way here this morning. It bucketed down soon after getting here. The only problem I had was a slowly deflating back tyre. I stopped once on the way to pump it up a little. It got me here … but only just.

I can see that I’ll be changing tubes before I head home this afternoon. I think the signs are there that I need a new tyre as well in the near future. I can live with that. The advantage of cycling everywhere is that I can buy a brand new tyre for around half the cost of a tank of petrol and it’ll keep me going for thousands of kilometres.

I never like handing over money but if it helps me save money I don’t mind so much.
