Well that didn't go to plan.
Driving to the cinema and a tyre went bang, proper bang.
My car doesn't have a spare, just an inflator and a bottle of gunk, and the gunk just sprayed out of the hole when I tried it. Fortunatly it was just 100 yards from the place I get my tyres so I was able to roll back there. New tyre fitted and back home, at least we hadn't bought the cinema tickets before hand.
The road it went on is fairly new and smooth so I assume I had picked something up earlier and it just worked its way in. Ho hum.

Wow that was lucky, imagine if you'd been on the motorway
One thing I hate about modern cars is the lack of a spare wheel, my 10 year old car has one but they seem to be option only on newer cars.

Here for rides.
I pumped up my tyres with the air hose at the bike shop opposite the office before riding "home".
(I think all bikeshops should have this. They take it in at night.)

That's the thing, we are off to Suffolk tomorrow, it could have really spoilt my mood if it did it on the A14.Wow that was lucky, imagine if you'd been on the motorway

I'm not happy about not having a spare, with one in the boot I could have got myself going in 5 minutes and made the cinema and meal. As it is, if it had gone any further away from a tyre place that was (only just) open then I would have had to call BMW Assistance and I would still be dealing with it now.

I have an inflator and gunk to in my car i brought last year.
Not looking forward to having to deal with that when it happens.

You could then import it into a database.

I attempted to justify a N+1 recently. We were at my mother's and it seemed to me that it would be convenient to leave, say a foldable bike there. I even looked at bikes in Eastbourne but it was a case of, "I'd never get away with that" or "that is seriously rusty". So it looks like my Tesco special may travel to East Sussex.
