flat tyre

[zerocool]

Is not my lcky time i suppose. yesterday the speedo problem and today i have to push 1 mile the bike back home because i have the back tyre flat.
I don t know what to do on monday because i m gonna replace them but i have to go to the shop that is around 5 mile from me.
The tyre at the moment is flat and got deflated in a second because i pick up some strange looking piece of metal. The slash is around 1 cm long.
Any idea?

Sorry, dude. I carry one of these under my seat at all times. It was a Christmas present from my mother a couple of years back:

Don't know how well they work, as luckily I've never had to use it. Worth a try though even if it's just to get you back on the road. Infinity have a branch on New Oxford Street, about five minutes walk from Holborn Tube. Not sure if they're open on Sundays though.

Have you got breakdown cover. If so push your bike away from home, if you dont have home start, and call them out.
If not I know someone that has a pick up with a hoist on the back so he can take your bike away to get the tyre replaced. Dont know how much he would charge but may be worth a try.
If you want his number just pm me and Ill send it to you.

Cheers
