Last night I got my first commuting p______e in years near Mile End climbing centre. My pump wouldn't work, so after 10 mins of trying to fix it I lobbed it in the bin and whipped my phone out to find one of those public pumps. Found one about 5 mins walk away, but that wouldn't work either, so called an Uber XL as I was getting late for my antenatal class. Then this morning my pump at home decided it didn't really want to seal on the valve any longer so I had to hold the head with one hand and pump the tyre up with the other hand. Fucking pumps. Is there a universal head replacement that's recommended?
Then this morning I had the temerity to ask a courier who made his lo-pro frame as it was a really nice looking shape, shiny in raw metal, a big T cut into the seatstay bridge and a nice curved gusset between inside of TT and ST, and he looked at me like I'd asked to fuck his mum. Soz mate, you're too busy to give me a straight answer, clearly.
