   How Many Wheels do you Need?

So I started the Wednedsay Skate with eight wheels. In Georgetown one blew out. Somewhere between Georgetown and American University another blew. I was fine. I could have done the A2A. Even when the third wheel blew, On MacArthur Boulevard on the way back to Georgetown, I was still going. I was among the first to finish the skate.

Eight wheels are overrated. All you need is four. I had five so there was still one extra. Now I know why speedskaters use five wheel frames -- you can have six blowouts and still keep going.

If anyone wants my castoffs, here they are.
