Vent: My pannier kept catching in my spokes on the Capitol Hill ride home.

After three flats in two weeks I finally realized my bungee strap was dangling, and now I tuck everything away tight. Anyone else had a near wipeout from loose gear flopping into your wheel?

Have you checked your tire pressure lately?

Whoa wait, three flats in two weeks?! @susan_ward that is seriously unlucky. I check my pressure like once a month if I remember but that makes me think I should do it more. You must have run over something crazy to get that many flats in that short of time. Was it all from the same spot on your commute or just random bad luck? I'd be losing my mind after the second one, honestly.
