Bike on the tube

And I may try the removal of the front wheel and taking the bike as "luggage" to see how that goes, it sounds like a good idea.

I had a puncture a while ago late at night, and still 10 miles from home, all I did was removed front wheel, rotated handlebar, lower saddle, and put them in a black bin liner, they're perfectly happy with me bringing it in that configuration as it's in a similar shape as a large luggage or flat screen television.

In hindsight, I probably don't need to use the bin liner.
