Things I learned today
Things I learned today:
* If you are 28 miles from home and you get a puncture, having a spare inner tube and a pump is not that helpful if you don't have tyre levers to get the tyre off.
* A key is not strong enough to replace a tyre lever, it will just bend and snap.
* In an pinch, a key-ring bottle opener can be used as a tyre lever, but you risk damaging your rims and with only one it's still a pain in the ass.
* Even if you can change the tube, there's no guarantee that you'll get the new tube inflated.
* Walking 4 miles with a bike with a flat tyre isn't much fun.
At least next time I'll be better prepared.
