Well therein lies a tale. I noticed that there was a wobble a week or two back. I examined the tyre and saw that the side wall was starting to bulge a bit. Now the folder get used a lot for short journeys to the shops and my dads house as it is the only bike I have with non SPD pedals. Last Wednesday, I have a dentist appointment in the afternoon. I also wanted some work doing on my car. So I decided to kill 2 birds with one stone, and take the car in and drop it off in the morning. So as I had to find something to do for the day, I took the folder with me. I had a nice ride to Bardney on the water railway, had a coffee and some cake. I then went to the dentist. After I got finished there, I had some more time to kill, so I went for a ride on the bike path out to Woodcocks on the Fossdyke for a beer. The garage rung at 3 and told me the car will be ready at 4. So I planned to leave at 4 time and get there for 4:30 (the garage shuts at 5). Unfortunately, when go to leave I have a rear puncture (the one with the dodgy tyre). I pump it up but it goes flat straight away (it was a pinch p*uncture btw). I also stupidly did not bring a spare tube or p*ncture repair kit. So I look at the bus times. Hmm an hour to next bus. So I have to walk / jog the 5 miles to the garage pushing the bike (which might have caused more damage to the flat tyre). I can't ring to tell them I'm going to be late as my phone battery died. I get there at 5:15 a sweaty, dehydrated, angry, wreck. Lucky for me they stayed open. I apologised profusely, paid and left. So it is official, I'm an idiot.Bad tyre, but don't let it get that bad next time
