I want to scream, rant, smash things, bust holes in my walls...

Can you tell I'm a bit :mad: ?

I use my bicycle as my primary transportation.
I get on it, and BOTH tires are flat. :argh:

Now I have to fix both tires, thanks to this Freeper type, :crazy: who thought it was "cool" to smash a beer bottle on the street, and I didn't see the glass last night, in time to swerve!

I swear, if I ever see some stupid son of a bitch smashing glass on the street or sidewalk, that MF'er is going to EAT the glass!

1. That's awful...

I wish it were only freeper types... that happens ALL. THE. TIME. in my neighborhood... low income area. :(

Wish I could send you some new tires through e-mail... alas... this'll have to do.

:hug:

3. Thanks.

Of course, if broken glass pokes a hole in the tires of THEIR precious cars/trucks/etc. they throw a whiny fit.

2. Positive vibes to you my friend.

And you remind me, I have a flat bike tire to replace.

4. Bicycle Rage Syndrome.

I too am afflicted. A truck once swerved into me, hanging me up on his passenger rearview mirror before dumping me off at a corner. I grabbed my bike and chased the truck thru a heavily redlighted area of Miami Beach for about 10 blocks, and then whopped the guy in the head with my airpump. Felt great. He rolled up his window and floored it as I went for the seat stem.

True story, when I was younger and madder than I am now.

5. Oooo! I like it!

Tire pump headache! :D

6. It's always bottles from bad beer, too

Like Miller Lite, Bud, and KKKoors. Those who like good, real microbrewed beer will re-use or recycle the bottles. The smashers of bottles on the bikepath types have pissed me off for years. They should eat other st*ff besides just the glass.

7. I have the solution to this in the future

There is a product out there called Tire Guard. It is essentially a strip of hard, yet flexible plastic that goes between the tire and the tube. It works wonders for preventing flats from nails, broken glass, etc. Check your local bike shop for it. I purchased a pair for my bike about eight years ago, and haven't had to change a flat since.

8. What is WRONG with people.

I do not understand people who litter, whether they are throwing bottles around for the fun of breaking them, or just casually dropping their garbage out of their hands. It just disgusts me.
