Managed to cycle home last night without any pucture issues. Every time I stopped at lights, I was paying close attention to the back wheel, as I’d used a CO₂ cannister to pump it up, and I’ve heard that the CO₂ slowly leaks out and you should pump it up with air at the earliest opportunity. The roads were still full of crap washed out by the recent rains, but I made it home without another puncture.

I got on to ProBikeKit yesterday and ordered myself some commuter tyres. They’re slower and more durable than my current race ones, and they’re supposed to be good in wet weather as well. $110 to buy two tyres and two tubes, and have them shipped from the UK to Australia. The two tyres on their own would probably cost me $160 in a shop here! They should arrive next week while I’m in Canberra, ready to go on the bike the week after that.

B: 41.2km – R: 7.3km
