I don't think I've had any dodgy places to change a tube. I recentlyhad a front tyre blow out on the Kincardine Bridge but there was no way I was stopping there, and instead waited till I was off it and used the path at the other end.

Show us on the doll where he fixed it.
I had a tyre go on a similar fast country rat run, no pavement and hedges overhanging to the carriageway. It was a rather nervous 3/4 of a mile pushing the bike to the nearest farm driveway. There's people walk along it every day though - braver souls than me.

Not dangerous but I once had to change one next to a horse field. I propped my bike against the gate, put my new innertube ontop of my saddle while I got the other bits sorted to then see a horse running off with it in its mouth.

In the door vestibule of a Silverlink/London Midland train between Northampton and Wolverton. Front wheel only though. If I got the Brommy out of car and found rear flat it it was a Shanks's Pony or London bus day.
