Bike Repair

I have four active kids, that enjoy independence and self-reliance. At least, I would like them to enjoy those things. So we invested in some new bikes this summer. Unfortunately on our property we can't hardly go outside without getting goatheads stuck in our shoes/feet.

These are basically death for bike tires. I was constantly dealing with flat bike tires on their bikes, my bike or my jogging stroller. It made going for a bike ride miserable, because we would have to check every tire, and pump or fix multiple tires before we set off.

So this afternoon I spent 2.5 hours finally putting an end to the whole affair. 



These are called Stop A Flat tires. They are a styrofoam core that replaces bike tires altogether. We're not messing around anymore! We can run over as many goatheads as we want and not be slowed down a bit. This is a game changer. They are pricey, but can you really put a price on your own sanity?
