2021 mileage: 3843.0
Today was yet again another challenging, or adventurous, day. I set off at 10:00 (67°, up to 73° by the end) to ride the Platt/Packard Square. All was going fine until a bit over halfway through, when the back end began to weave side to side again as had happened to me a couple of weeks ago. When I checked, it was the same cause ... air pressure dramatically low, and since I am unable to pump it up sufficiently for a good ride, I merely chained up the trike and took Uber home, and will go back for it later after Michelle gets home with our car. (I could pump it up enough for a slow, emergency ride to get me home, but was not inclined to deal with that restriction today.)
This gave me a ride of 8.4 miles (as opposed to the 13.6 I had intended), in 58 minutes ... better than nothing, I suppose (though not a LOT better).
I have been airing up that tire once weekly, like I do with all my tires—but I guess I'm going to need to change and make that rear tire a daily occurrence, before I set out on each ride.
