Nice!
Lemme tell you about my day: It was the last day of my temp cleaning job at a company I've worked for before. It's located at about 45m
cycling away.
I was not too far from that location when I heard a loud BANG and suddenly sat a lot lower to the ground. My tyre had exploded. Timing is close for
me. I lifted the rear end of my bicycle and dragged it to my cleaning location, arriving juuuust in time.
During cleaning I got my little finger caught between a chair and a table. Nail's now blue and painful.
With 9 fingers I still had to fix my tyre. I had low hopes because when they explode like that it can mean it's beyond your repair kit.
It was a huge leak, but I had a large enough patch to cover it. I noticed the outer tyre was worn and that there was a hole at roughly the place where
the leak was. That was indeed beyond what I could fix right there, but with the patched tyre not fully inflated and a few bits of paper between the
tyres where the hole is, meant I could roll it home instead of having to lift it.
Walk home took 2 hours 15 minutes.

And the first
hours of work. Fortunately, the construction site where I currently work is just 5 minutes away by foot from my place, so getting there was ok, at
least.
