not going to be a craigslist missed connection.
i was riding home from work today along west river parkway, as always, when this very cute girl came driving by in a green beatle. i of course tightened up form, glanced over, gave her the look (you know the one, it conveys this very thought, 'whats up honey, how would you like to come over sometime for dinner and legos?) anyway, as i was relaying this very message to her, i regretfully was not paying attention to what was in front of me and hit this fucking gigantic pothole, the very pothole that i had been consciously swerving around everyday for the last 3 months. seriously, the thing was a wheel swallower, 8 inches long and maybe 3-4 inches deep. so i hit that, lost my form and just about ate it. she sped off and that was that, or so i thought. maybe 15 feet down the road i felt that all too familiar sound of metal on concrete...flat tire...shit. it turns out that the hole not only cost me a missed connection on craigslist, but it blew my sweet new michelin tube i just put on last week.
so just in case you weren't aware, pretty girls cause flat tires.
