Oh, if these wheels could talk….

They could hopefully tell me just how far we’ve walked together these past few years. More likely, they’d hurl abuse at me for the the terrible conditions I’ve at times literally dragged them through. Snow and ice, water and mud, parquetry and pavement. We’ve done them all.

Mercifully, after valiantly hobbling along for a month or so, the end came rapidly for this battle weary pair. With a defiant spray of sparks, the last vestiges of tread slipped off the rims and into the gutter as we headed for the car at the close of a particularly grueling day.

A quick call to the ThinkTank people saw a sleek new pair of wheels arrive in the mail. It would be smooth sailing again in no time. For the moment at least!
