Title: Punctured Tyre - Yet Again!
Post by: Yorkshire Girl on February 23, 2019, 06:02:19 PM
Hi all
I'll apologise now but I so need to rant!! God I'm so pissed off, I have yet another punctured tyre on my car this is the third one in a year & really feel my car is being targeted! Hopefully will be fixed on Monday but there goes my swim & food shopping, I know it sounds so petty but the one thing I really enjoy & look forward to on a Monday is a swim! Hubby has offered to take me food shopping tomorrow, but I hate going Sundays as it's so busy & it's too late for me to do an internet order! :steamed: :angryfire:

Potholes?  Take a photo with a ruler to measure the depth.  Our Councils won't look at any unless they are a certain size  >:(

Hi CKLD Unfortunately not pothole related as there is a bloody screw imbedded in the tyre!! With the number of potholes round us I'm surprised that has yet to be responsible!!

my son cycles a lot and got two punctures last week.  One was from a huge piece of hawthorn as they had been hedge cutting around the country lanes and the sexond was a large, rusty nail.

Pennyfarthing it's so annoying, yes I've had a bike puncture from hawthorn on a pavement cycle way - I now avoid these type of cycle paths & use the road (if it's safe)
