Throughout my 10-day bike experience from Istanbul, Turkey to Varna, Bulgaria I began to get just a little frightened about my bicycle tires. I wasn’t frightened about them as a result of there’s something improper with them. I simply began to fret that if one thing had been to occur to them on this a part of the world, it is likely to be very tough for me to discover a substitute tire. So, after I bought to Varna, Bulgaria a couple of week in the past, the very first thing on my to-do listing was to buy a brand new tire for my bicycle. Amazingly, there was a bicycle store only one block away from the condo I rented via AirbBNB.com, and for 30 Bulgarian Lev ($20 USD) I used to be capable of buy a brand new Continental tire for my bicycle. However relatively than carry this new tire as a spare (it’s a lot bigger than my present tires and due to this fact harder to hold), I made a decision to place the brand new tire on my bike now and preserve the outdated tire with me as a backup. Romania, Moldova and the Ukraine… right here I come!
