Pump

I'm not that flash at pumping up my tyres. I still can't change a bike tyre either. With the roads I am riding, and the distances I am travelling, this could potentially be a problem~! It is something I need to master. Full on pumped up tyres make riding the bike easier. I'm been for about 4 long rides since I got my bike back from the bike shop from being respoked. The tyres were aweseome after I had my bike serviced, and they didn't seem to be going down, so I thought I'd wait until they did. Today, I thought I'd try and pump them to get maximum riding. It took me several goes. What happens is the valve completely deflates and then I just cant get it to be fully pumped.

When I've owned other bikes I've never had this problem. I might try the air thing at the service station tomorrow and see if that makes a difference.

I am not sure why I find it so difficult. Just another thing I will need to get better at.

I've never been to a pump class at the gym. I do though need to do more weight/resistance training to work with the cardio of RPM/Cycling. I 've started to try and do more weights. I do actually love the weights. It helps with the "fat burn". There is a basic law of physics (not that I'm a scientist) but the lighter you are the easier it is to get up the hill and the faster you will go.
