This morning's commute and other commuting stories

I've got a flat tyre

Tubeless mate. Its the future.

You have a bike shed but you go to a shop to fix a puncture? Is this why u haz all the bad karma today?

Yeah, kids, downhill is where you should all take a mental break. Oooh look at the pretty trees..

Sounds like me:

• visit friend last night, forget to bring keys
  
• cycle home at 1 AM, no one in, locked out
  
• cycle back to friend's, sleep on his sofa
  
• this morning, cycle over flatmate's office to borrow keys
  
• get to flat, make coffee, accidentally leave the hob on for 30 mins
  
• cycle back to flatmate's office, realise I forgot my lunch
  
  

I think I have dementia or something

Edit: spent £6 on some some clamp-on friction shifters and a set of V-brakes to make myself feel better.

let me walk you though my morning.

Wake up a bit late
go down to bike shed, I've forgotten my lunch
go back to flat, get lunch, go back to shed
I've forgotten my helmet, go back to flat
go back to shed, I've got a flat tyre
no tubes, walk to shop, fix puncture
get to within 10m of where I had my big accident last year
get knocked off by another cyclist who wasn't paying attention and drifted onto the wrong side of the road going down hill.
help her as she's in shock, get her back on road.
get to work, another puncture.
arrive at desk at 3pm

ftfy. Sorry to hear you got knocked off.
