Well, after 9500km, I had to change my rear tire. Things are not as easy as it seems.

Firstly, I don't have the necessary tools to remove the tire by myself, second, since I bought my tire from another store, I needed a way to have both the bike and the tire at Snow City.

I thought I'd have to drive my car to Snow, drop off my tire, drive home. Then drive my bike over and wait for the tire change. What a pain in the eye.

Well, the obvious solution was to carry my tire on my bike.... which as you've already seen, is exact what I've done. Please look at the second picture (taken from the rear). Note that I've used a sock to keep the tire from rubbing my bike's bodywork. I took a sock and taped it up to the wheel, so that none of the black rubber would rub off onto my tail section. Ain't I clever?? ^_^

The bungee net that I have also stretched amazingly far. I mean, it fit the circumference of the tire! I was impressed for sure.

Did I mention that there was a police car with officers at the end of my street who probably saw me carrying the thing, but didn't stop me? Yup. That got me nervous.

....forget necessity, it's laziness that's the mother-of-all inventions.
