| I found this in my air-free tire when I got to work. |
Scattered on my bike commute trail are diamonds. I think they are falling from the
soles of her shoes, but I'm not really sure. Perhaps it's just the drunks tossing their bottles about. I do know that after a rain storm this stuff sticks to my tires really well, and often allow the air inside them to become air outside. In response to this situation I have several proposals.
- Diamond wearing be banned on multi-use paths. This seems harsh, but if they keep dropping them they shouldn't have them.
- Alcohol sold to minors in Antioch and Pittsburg should only be sold in plastic or cans, never in glass.
- The trail should be swept clean every five years, whether it needs it or not.
- Glass breakers (from now on referred to as "glass holes") be dragged through any glass they deposit on the trail. Naked. Twice.
I used to fight with the City of Antioch to sweep the crappy bike trails (and this is when they had a little money)--useless.
ReplyDeleteOne year I did about @500 miles in the Gold Country--no flats. Then first afternoon in 20 miles of Brentwood-Antioch trails--2 flats. Think it was the last time I rode on the Antioch Greater Megalopolis trails.
I rode many many miles in Oregon, Washington, Canada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming last summer. One flat. Antioch streets aren't any better than the trails. It's all stickers/thorns and broken glass.
