Many years ago, I was out on a Sunday with my then clubamtes and me freehub disintegrated. Cub mates pushed me to the nearest village (this was before mobiles) called my old man who was non too chuffed at a 50 plus mile round trip to collect me. Was home well before the lunch and with barely 25 miles in my legs so took my mountainbike out for a spin on the towpaths. A farmer had trimmed the hedges and I didnt realise until too late and both tyres flat. Only had one spare, walked about 5 miles too a vilage and phone box and had to call my old man again for a 30 mile round trip to pick me up again. He was even less impressed second time round!
