P*nct*red at the weekend (rear wheel), so got all the kit out of my commute bag changed the tube etc, got into work fine on weds. Then yesterday evening got on the bike only to discover I had another rear wheel p*nct*re. I'm on the singlespeed and have forgotten to put my spare tube, multitool, pump and tire levers back in the bag. Cue a 10 min walk in cleats to the nearest bike shop. Bought a tube, borrowed some tools, thoroughly checked the tire and rim for glass/debris, changed the tube. Got halfway home before I p*nct*red again. Evil or Very Mad Ended up walking 3 miles in my cleats, and forgot to take off my nice new overshoes, when I got home I discovered I'd worn a hole in the heel of each one, clearly not designed for walking. All in all a very bad commute and a reminder to always make sure you carry spares and repairs, especially in the winter months.
Today I'm carrying:
2 tubes
2 CO2 canisters
1 minipump
1 multitool
3 tire levers.
