Kevlar - Bullet/Road Proof Easters are Needed

Don't ride in Miami without Kevlar - I blew out a tire/tube cornering on Sheldon Bike.  Looks like I got some glass clean through the tire and tube this time. Took about a second - Ffft Ffft Ffft grumble grumble grind.  Thankfully I was upright and stayed so.

I was on a local library/pre-work set of errands so I walked home in short order.  On the way back I was tooted by a latino scooter-posse, replete with girlfriends in bikinis.  Such is life in Miami.  So I gave them the two fingers to the helmet salute and two of them cheered.  Are cyclists so unusual here?  Perhaps in these neighborhoods. 

I mean, my philosophy has always been, "Ride it like it's stolen."  But the number of tires/tubes I've been through is getting silly.  I run Kevlar on the Little Red Rocket and I've had two flats (snakebites in the Keys).  Hush, with her old touring Weinmanns and touring Kevlars hasn't had a single flat.  The Lotus (and now also Sheldon Bike) have more generic tires - and I've blown out the rear tube on the Lotus 2xs and now Sheldon Bike 1x. 

OK.  Off to change a tire, then change into trial prep mode.

Happy Easter to all those who celebrate it.  All in all, a much better holiday than Christmas, if only because it hasn't been commercialized.  Although I'm more of an Equinox-er than an Easter-er, I ate two eggs today in honor of Genesius of Rome and Columbkille.  And so the wheel of the seasons turns.
