Am I Bad Luck?

Straight from the twilight zone - is the curse of Toshiki's rear tire.

I'm good for one weeknight ride a week and that's about it. So on Tuesday of this week, I showed up in the parking lot of the AABTS Far East Fringe Ride in Plymouth right next to Toshiki, who was unloading his Lightspeed from his car. For the last few rides, Toshiki has gotten a flat somewhere along the ride. So I joked with Toshiki, "I brought extra tires and CO2 just for you tonight, Toshiki." He replied, "I don't flat every ride, just the ones you show up for"

Our little group dropped Toshiki along the 30-mile ride (guess he didn't feel like hammering). As we get back to the parking lot, someone mentioned that Toshiki had a flat. I couldn't believe it. Of course, when Toshiki pulled in, he immediately blamed his misfortune on me. "Every time you're out here, I get a flat"

Let the record show that I did weeknight Plymouth rides on July 25th, August 15th, August 21st, and August 29th. On all of those rides, Toshiki had a flat.
