Does anyone know the procedure for filing a claim against the city for damage resulting from a failure to maintain the roads?
I was going through tubes like tissue until I bought a couple of Shwalbe tires with puncture protection last summer. King St and Black Arrow both carry a few different types (I'm sure other shops do as well, but those are the shops where I bought my two). I think they were about $90 each, but I'll make that back by the end of the summer simply by not having to buy tubes.
Yeah, I have considered getting more puncture proof tires. I started running slicks because I like riding out in the country, not seriously, but anyways, I might have to change my mind.
That being said, I didn't start having trouble till I started riding on Columbia. So much glass. The city should be cleaning it, I've asked them a half dozen times already.
