It was a beautiful winter day, sun shining, -4.0°C outside, calm wind and I am out of shampoo. That obviously means that I take out my bike to snowy roads and try to catch the advertised special deal to get some cheap shampoo.

Well, as I guessed, the tires hadn't held their pressure very well. It was so and so that the rims didn't break the inner layer, I guess the snow on road softened the ride enough to prevent that from happening. It was not very pleasurable though, since one needs to apply more force to beat the extra friction caused by empty tires.

Well, once I got to a service station where was an air pump I could actually use, I could check the pressure levels, they were something in between 1 and 2 for both front and rear, while they should be somewhere around 5 or 6 usually. So, refilling them up and then it was nice to go on.

Surprisingly there weren't any other problems, breaks worked, gears worked and nothing seemed broken.

After the trip I had caught quite a sweat, even though I even used the thinner jacket. And, well, I ended up not using the special deal for shampoo after all. The reason was quite simple, there was even better deal there, bigger bottle of some lesser known brand for the same price.
