I was sitting by the road in Sutton upon Derwent, trying to stop my feet hurting (of which more in another thread), when a chap ambled by and started asking the usual questions:
"are you as comfortable in that as you look?"
"How far have you come?"
"Has it got gears?"
etc, etc. He was slightly annoying, as he was one of those people who ask you a question and then cut you off half way through the answer with another, but hey ho.
Then he came up with a new one:
"Are those solid tyres, or do they have tubes in?"
"Oh, they have tubes, they're just normal tyr..."
"So you could get a puncture?"
"yes, I could, but at least on the front it's easy to get the..."
"So do you carry all the stuff you need to fix a puncture, in your bags?"
"Oh, ye..."
"Good for you!"
I'm not sure if there was a 'gosh, well done, a practical girl!' subtext or not....
Still, the solid tyres is a new assumption....
