Normally I would have an image here, but the SnapPhoto app for Android is once again failing and the images have come out corrupt\u2020<\/sup>. So instead I’ll tell you about what I had to deal with earlier today: dog poop on my bike tire.<\/p>\n

When riding into the Stony Creek trails tonight I was rather close behind someone and didn’t notice a pile of very fresh dog poop until it was too late. That is, right as my front wheel was about to hit it. After I hit it there were two large lumps sticking off the side of the tire, showing just how sticky said poop is. I then had to scrape it off (as best as I could) with a stick, before riding up to the top of the nearest hill to meet up with the group.<\/p>\n

Once at the top of the hill the corrupt photos were taken, one showing me giving a thumb’s up next to the tire, and another showing a close-up of the tire. I then had to scrape the tire more on the grass and dirt, which (somehow) resulted in dog poop getting on my hand and glove. Riding after that point was also a bit more interesting, because until most of it was worn off I had to go slow enough that it didn’t fling up into my face.<\/p>\n

I intend to ride after work tomorrow as well, so I’ll have to wait a day before washing the bike and removing the last bits of poo from the wheel and down tube. Oh well. After that comes a day of storms (Wednesday), paved ride on the other bike (Thursday), and then hopefully a commute to work (Friday) on the other bike.<\/p>\n

\u2020<\/sup> If you’d like to take a stab at the corrupt JPEGs, they are here: 20090511185103.jpg<\/a> · 20090511185118.jpg<\/a>. The issue seems to occur mostly after the app has been running in the background for a few days, as a reboot of the phone seems to make the problem go away. I’ve upgraded to the for-pay, $0.99 Snap Photo Pro app. Hopefully it doesn’t continue to have the same problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
