This year is turning into the year of the Goathead. I’m picking up a goathead thorn in my tires every ride lately, even when I don’t go in the dirt. I’m beginning to think somebody is harvesting goatheads from Lime Ridge and spreading them all over the bike paths in town.

Bicycle tire sealant is amazing stuff. I have over 3 dozen punctures in my front tube and they have all sealed. If one of the thorn holes in the tire is at the to it will probably not seal and the tire will go flat. When I pump it up again it will bubble and I can put the leak at the bottom of the tire and it will seal up in in a couple minutes. Once the hole is sealed it seems to stay sealed.
