            (I heard a squeeking sound from the front wheel, thought it was a speedo cable. Upon arriving home discovered a flat tire, the sound was the tire rubbing on the rim. I didn't even know that the tire was flat.  The stiff side walls of the Dunlop D908 allowed me to ride home ~10 miles unknowing that I had a flat. Seems that my tire pressure gauge was broken.  Bought a new gauge.)
