It is cooler inside - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

After working on a flat tire for one of the Grandkids, I wanted to pass on
a note of caution on to others who haven't done much with bicycles in the
recent past.

When replacing tubes and using a 'Slime' filled replacement tube, the
kitchen is not the place to pump the tire up even if it is cooler than the
garage.

I spent over an hour inspecting the texture on the kitchen ceiling when
part of tire pulled off the rim. It took a second non slime filled tube to
figure out the problem....
