I think I'm cursed !

At least it was downhill Goober. Why didn't you fix it either on the spot or at home and cycle in anyway? Would still have been quicker than the bus, no?

I considered it, but decided just to leave it 'til I got home so that I wasn't rushing it just to get to work.

It was a damn big nail. At least no-one else has to pick it up in their tyre now

How old/new are the tyres? Two punctures in SMPs is the most amazing bad luck. Whatever kind of roads do you cycle on?

It's not always the point about the tyres.I have hit potholes hard before and got an immediate puncture.That's the trouble with being 16 stone.

They're probably just over a year old now, and both (rear tyre) punctures have been on the same 1 and 1/2 mile stretch of the Water of Leith path (old railway path, nicely tarmac'ed). The funny thing is that it's the 'clean' stretch (where you rarely see any detritus) which has caused me the trouble. Later parts of the path, always strewn with glass, have never been the slightest bother.

It's the stuff that I DON'T see that always hurts the most.
