As I left work yesterday (Friday), late already, my front tire flatter before I was 200m from the bike rack. Pushed back a bit to have a bench to work at, patched the tube.

4km later, front flat again. Change to my spare tube, hop on. Seems to be low, so I stop to top up a little, slip while pumping, and bend the valve core. It breaks when I turn the nut after trying to straighten it, but seems to be holding air. I put my zefal hpx back on the bike, and coast down to the lock to cross the canal. As I'm carrying my bike across the lock, my pump falls in the drink. Forgot to put velcro strap on.

I got home fine, but took a while and really frustrating.

Still better than driving in traffic.
