Where is the strangest/dangerous place you have changed a tyre?

Half way up Blue Bank, but I had already used my spare tube, no patches so I stuffed the tyre with grass to get back to the campsite. The rest of the climb was slow and hard.

Pilling Park housing estate in Norwich on a sunny and warm Friday evening. Hooded hoodlums on creaky (creepy) BMX's slowly circling getting closer and closer..

I ride through there, never had any problems. Couple of chavvy boy racers, that's all.

Me too normally but on this day there was a certain weird atmosphere, quite a few people around, got the distict impression I'd just stumbled into a build up or aftermath of a fight or something. It was half way along Newbegin Road, couple of years back now.

Problem families were housed there in a policy of containment, I went to Thorpe Hamlet School that was in the catchment area.

What did you do?

Tried to look assertive and mean in my lycra and quickly just pumped the tyre up and managed to wobble far enough away to change the tube properly.

Trouble is, they flank you: "Clever boy".

Back in 1986 my brother and i got in a bit of a spat one Monday morning, which ended up with a bit of fisticuffs. I ended up with a badly bruised forearm... but being a trooper, I went to work (YTS, apprentice fitter at the local bus garage). This is not a strange place to change a wheel or tyre... but I did try to remove a bus wheel with what turned out to be a broken arm.... and bus wheels are bloody heavy and taking its weight really fecking hurt!

On the apex of a blind bend.

Not my smartest move!
