I fixed a flat on my old Trek 1000. Fixing flats is part of the fun for me. On long trips, I always make sure I have patches and a pump. Once, I forgot to bring my pump, got a flat tire, and I walked 5 miles to get back home.
I put my trek on the turbo trainer today, and did an easy spin for about 45 minutes, I was breathing pretty good. Its not as good as being outdoors, but it will help my body adjust better when I do start riding. I've had that bike for about 15 years, and its still my favorite. Its very comfortable to sit on, and I like having the shifter on the down tube.

This is my personal diary of my bicycle adventures. I started riding bicycles when I was 25, and I haven't stopped yet. I'm 51 now, and I think it keeps me fit. I'm addicted to endorphins, and that's why I ride so much. I'm just to tired to be depressed or sad after a ride. I went 40 miles a week last year, from spring to fall. I had to quit for the winter, but I intend to start back up as soon as the snow goes away.

I like road bikes the best, but I also have a trek 4300 trail bike. It doesn't go as fast, but I can go off road If I want. I did ride my bike 1 day in January when it warmed up to 50, but I almost wrecked when I hit a patch of ice. I'm very careful not to get into heavy traffic, and I have a bicycle trail close by to ride on. Bicycling is dangerous, so I ride with a helmet. I need some wood to knock on, but I haven't got seriously hurt yet. Its a 20 mile round trip to the end of the trail and back, and I can do it in about 2 hours or so. I go at my own pace, and I try not to push to hard, especially when its hot. I like to get up early in the morning and ride, that way I can miss the cars, and the heat. It also makes the rest of my day better too.
