Yeah, it's horrible. I'd forgotten about the ringing ears, but I do remember that I was in the hallway: the walls can't be more than two-and-a-half feet apart, which just made the experience all the worse. It's not something you forget in a rush. I mean, I'm not going to claim that I'm awake at this ridiculous hour because of the one that popped when I was tucked up in bed - it's not like I haven't slept since June or anything. However, I'm really am quite twitchy around the track pump now. I stretch the tubing out to put as much distance between me and the tyre as possible. Maybe I could get one with a really, really long air hose - inflate my tyres from another room.
