In the last video, we fought our way through the Miami Metropolitan area—and I mean all the way. After fighting traffic, glass, mechanical problems, and bad luck, we had no choice but to crash at a motel in Homestead. Awake and ready to make up for lost time, Alex and I set a goal of 80 miles for day two. That would put us in Marathon, about 50 miles from Key West.

Almost immediately, Alex’s tire came back to haunt us. We thought we saw a Walmart, but it ended up just being a grocery store. It turned out that they wouldn’t have had a tire anyway.

After searching the inventory of every big box store we could think of, we discovered that nobody carries anything narrower than 32. To get to a real bike shop, one of us would need to backtrack for 10 miles, buy a tire, and ride 10 miles South again to make the repair—that is after waiting for the shop to open. We decided to take our chances with an emergency sidewall repair.

For the rest of the transcript, just turn on closed captions.
