Didn't feel very well at work today and decided to get an earlier train home. Thought about leaving the bike and getting the bus to the station but decided I could hack it. It was pouring with rain as I left so got soaked. Then about a quarter of a mile along the road, I realised there was a bit of tree foilage on my tyre - so I stopped and grabbed it to remove it. Off it came....or should I say out it came as it actually had a huge thorn embedded in the tyre! Pssssssttttttttt ! I thought about stopping at the side of the road and repairing it but thought it best to walk it back to work to repair and catch the next train. Got to work and got the wheel off, tyre and tube off and replacement tube in....only to find my pump was broken! Could have cried as still felt really rough! So my bike is in bits in the basement at work. Tomorrow is another day so have packed a working pump and keeping my fingers crossed I can get it fixed.
