hugo blow out

hugo decided he would blow the back tire on the way home tonight from the station. unfortunately i didn't have all the gear to do a tire change on the fly so i had to get a lift from karen and the boys. not good. it has made me re-think the whole station ride.
maybe i do need a mountain bike? just for durability
i am going to look more at 2nd hand ones for pricing. ahhh. just what i need. another bike idea. FFS

the SHC and the malvern were at the MA so i am trying to get them this monday, along with the REPCO. man if i get the repco we will be talking major cash upgrades. i bet it is gone though
