Bike Blowout on the Beach

I have never had a blowout on a bike before – but there is a first time for everything! 

I had just rented a bike from Tiki Island in Pensacola Beach, Floridaon Friday.  I must say the bike wasn’t a TREKby any means.  The front tire was low so the Tiki Island guy aired it up.  He said, “If you have any trouble just come back!”  Did he know something I didn’t know ….and where else would I go!   

Well I jumped on and started pedaling across the parking lot.  My speed was increasing rapidly ….1 mph, 2 mph, 3 mph …. the front fender was beginning to shake due to the warp speed ….. then all of a sudden a loud …….POP!!!  It sounded like a cannon!   Several people ducked nearby at the sound of the explosion!  Looked my way …. I waved … what else could I do?  

A blowout … I couldn’t believe it as I walked back to Tiki Island pushing this fine machine (joke … it was a sad excuse for a bike!)  “Back so soon”  the Tiki guy says … “Yeah I had a blowout!”  Tiki guy used a choice word I can’t print here!   

Then he said, “Well just take our best bike!”  What???  I had been given a lesser bike to begin with ….no way!!!    

But now I would get their best bike!  I was pumped!! 

What he failed to tell me was that Tiki Islands best bike was about a .009 % upgrade … and on top of that it was a FEMALE BIKE!!!!

Come Fly with Me!!

Tuesday of last week (May 12) things got exciting at Houston’s Hobby Airport.  While I was waiting on my return home flight at 8:25 PM – that was delayed till 8:45 PM – but didn’t depart till 9:20 PM – at about 7:45 PM I heard a loud BOOOM!  When I looked up I saw smoke and fire coming from a Southwest plane that had just landed!!  A tire caught fire as the plane landed.  When the plane came to stop passengers used the emergency chutes to get to safety.  Actually from my vantage point it didn’t look that bad – then again I wasn’t on the plane.

The video is below –

Before we departed our pilot made the following comments, “How many of you saw the plane land that had the problem?”  Several hands went up.  Then he asked, “How many of you are nervous now about flying?”  Some now put both hands up!!!  I THOUGHT ABOUT CALLING GREYHOUND!!!  Then he said, “I promise we don’t plan to do that on this flight!”  The passenger next to me leaned over and said, “I’m sure those other pilots weren’t trying to do that either!!!”  I would agree.

Oh yeah I made it home fine!!
