The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf Forecast issued Thursday 30 July 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
Woooooo… that fresh southerly breeze on the coast is chilly. It brought the size up a little this arvo but no one wanted to be out in it as far as I could see.
Down a little tomorrow, similar Saturday, then waves all week while gradually easing back in size and swinging direction.
Friday: upper end of the 1-2 metre range South/South East
Saturday: ditto East South East with some oomph
Sunday: down a little more in the 1-2 metre range but still with some push East South East
Monday: around 1 metre or so East
Tuesday: ditto East North East
Wednesday: ditto again North East
Thursday: similarish North East
On better understanding >>>
Drove my bike, that I mostly ride to the beach and back sometimes, to a bike shop to get a new tube for a flat tyre.
I pushed it in to the shop, and the guy checked it out and said:
Really the two rims are wearing down to unsafe levels. They could split while you’re riding, which is dangerous. (Agreed). You’re looking at around $400 for two new wheels, but there’s a few other things that need attention.
You’re better off getting a new bike for around $500.
But we don’t have one of those to suit you at the moment.
We’ve got like this for $700, or this for a thousand. (Hmmm.. expensive flat tyre).
Decided I’d think about it…
I pushed my bike back out to the car.
Now I have a better understanding of why they are called push bikes>>>
