Puncture Fairy is a B1tch!

[Boris Bajic]

Yesterday. Welsh Borders.

42 miles from home. 36 miles from mother-in-law's house. Slow puncture. No repair kit (don't ask).

Spare tube was for a 650 rim. Road bike runs 700s. Trying to put it on with frozen fingers was a comedy sketch. Checked the box and the tube about a zillion times before accepting the tube was ridiulously tiny.

Wife had to drive back from destination to collect me. I nearly froze to death (it felt like it).

Two cyclists passed me without checking I was OK.

The cycling fairy is a b1tch. A stupid, heartless, uncaring b1tch.

"Ja qifsha nanen e nanes", as they say in the Accursed Mountains.

Shame on those other cyclists for passing you

.Hope you feel better now. At least you will not forget the repair kit next time

I was prepared. I threw the kit out of my Camelbak as I thought a tube would be enough.

The tube was a silly size.

It's not fair.

Puncture Fairy is a fuggin' beeyatch. Fuggin', fuggin', fuggin' beeyatch!

With knobs on. Stupid, stupid, stupid brain-free, ugly, dimwitted Puncture Fairy!!!!!

The end.

I was sort of prepared the other week and it didn't help.

Decided to have a trip out on the MTB, route was decided and off I went. About 6 miles in I suffered a double puncture (front and rear). No problem, I have two spare tubes so I get both changed job done. As I have about 50 miles of my intended route left, I decide to repair the tubes before continuing. Bummer no puncture repair kit! I must have taken it out of my bag a forgot to return it. With 50 miles still to do and no spare tubes I don't have any choice really but to turn round and go home. I was gutted, needless to say a repair kit was promptly returned to the saddle bag on the MTB.
