      I had to fix the tyre tube every week (cost similar to LPG fuel) until I started to pump for almost maximal pressure. It was fucking frustrating, also without proper infrastructure, riding a bike is not fun at all

        Did you have those slim “racing” wheels? Up the tire size just one size and you’ll be way better off.

        I got myself an old mountain bike, works wonders in the city with all the potholes and crap.

          Not racing, but trekking tyres. I suppose the mountain bike tires are far better (the city crap bike roads can be worse than mountains I think).
