Situation Flat: No Train Pass
I got a flat tire on my bicycle this morning. It was 8.30. My train leaves at 8.38. To cycle the remaining distance would have taken about two minutes. It took about eight minutes to get there on foot. When I got to the gate my monthly train pass was missing from my wallet.
That’s the way to do it!
UPDATE
New Jersey is covered by a layer of broken glass. That explains why I carry a flat tire kit with me. I had replaced the punctured inner tube, reinstalled my wheel and was pumping new air into the tire when I noticed something… The way I was holding the pump made it look like I was doing something dirty to myself. I moved to a less sexy looking pumping position and broke the valve of my replacement inner tube.
NOW THAT REALLY IS THE WAY TO DO IT!
