Puncture woes

Ahhhhrrgghhh! I had another puncture on the way home. I had just overtaken a lady cyclist and was coming up to the Lambeth Road when I heard a loud pssst sound. I immediately thought it was the rear tyre. Within seconds though it became apparent that the front tyre was completely flat. What made it worse was that it was tipping it down with rain :-(.

Fortunately though it had stopped raining and I had remembered to pack my repair kit. I didn’t have a spare so I fixed it which only took ten minutes or so. It was lucky it was a big puncture as that made it easy to find.

I really should invest in some Schwalbe Marathon tyres as this is taking the mickey. Two punctures in as many months.
