I've only been out on the bike once this year and have been keepping fit ;) in the garage on my Tacx. Something didn't feel right tonight and on inspection I find I have a rear wheel puncture. I mean! who the hell gets a puncture in their bleeding garage on a trainer. As is usual with my luck it's the rear wheel. Anyway, I'm working all weekend so it can wait untill Monday.

At least it happened in your garage, and not miles away from home!

That is unlucky Jim, any idea what caused the punture and what tyres do you have?

No idea what caused it as I can't believe it happened, so I've come in for a cup of tea instead of examining it.

Low tyre pressure is a possibility.

Well done for keeping up the cycling on the trainer - us ebike riders are supposed to be lazy sods who can't be bothered to pedal.

I did 160 miles in my garage last Winter and so far this Winter I'm just over 100 miles.
