Acorns and Tires

This is the time of year when the streets get showered with acorns. Of course they end up in the bicycle lane and it's not always possible to avoid them. Running over them usually doesn't cause a problem. But with lighter tires it's possible to crunch one just right and end up on the side of the road replacing a tube.
