Thought I'd be lazy and cycle from work about 5 miles to one of the railway stations on the way home. - It looked like rain anyway.
While passing some people who obviously didn't expect me to be there, I went over an unfinished, unmarked trench.
I've been down that street many times before but only that way, so until this time, I'd never been on the other side of the road. My inner tube didn't like it much.
My own fault really as I could probably have slammed on the anchors and stayed on the left but as there was clearly nothing coming the other way, I went round. I just didn't expect the trench to be as...sharp-edged.
What's that website? Fillthathole.com?
**Edit** Found it: http://www.fillthathole.org.uk
All was not lost though as I had a spare tube with me and just enough time to replace it before the train arrived. If I hadn't, the short pull up the hill back home wouldn't have been so short.
