Before getting on the bus yesterday, an elderly lady asked me if I got flat tires riding my bike. I told her that I just began riding it, and I haven’t got one yet. She told me that she stopped riding her bike because it was becoming too expensive to continuously fix flat tires. We kept chatting until the bus came. I got off @ Bellevue Rd. and biked through Cross Timbers neighborhood. Once I got to Hicks Rd., I walked the bike through the grass and up the hill. Upon reaching the top of the hill, I got back on the bike and it felt funny and make a bad noise. I checked the back tire and saw that it was completely flat…

I should’ve said Alhamdulillah.
