Started off on what I thought was going to be a quick 20 mile ride through San Martin but when I rode over 101 I heard my front tire get a puncture and new I'd have to pull off and fix the tube.
Sat on the side of a road and pulled off my front wheel and proceeded to fix the flat tire. About fifteen minutes later after checking to make sure my front wheel is ready to go, I look at my bike on the ground and notice the back tire is also flat!
Now, my bike is completely disassembled and I spend another fifteen minutes on the back tire. I know, 30 minutes doesn't seem like long, but in the heat that has hit the Bay Area lately, it seemed like an eternity! Maybe I'll have to add some tire liners on my road bike to try and prevent tire punctures...
