after last year’s lugging-the-punctured-bike-five-miles-to-the-station particular kind of fun, when i got a puncture this time i just whipped out my new puncture repair pads and mini pump… and found the puncture to be the inner tube splitting itself in two: unrepairable. not fair! timing was good though, happening right by a cafe on a lock, and there was a bike shop in the town just 500m back.
