provenrad Repair if you are sensible. Just go to a bike shop today and buy a pack of patches (pre-glued = better for you) tyre levers and a pump.
Why do you reckon pre-glued are better for you? I personally find them not as reliable as good old glue and patches.
I tend to patch each time I have a puncture and only change the tube when its irreparable. I find this easier as the majority of the time I don't need to take the wheel off.

Awww, thanks guys. I'm having a top day off, except i went somewhere this morning and decided to take the train instead of ride. BIG mistake. I got on the wrong section of the train (how the fcuk did I know i wasn't in the front 4??!) and ended up miles from where i wanted to go. Morale of the story? Ride your feckin bike.
...especially when in the early hours of this morning andypancake, dexterfletcher and dt helped* me build up my *new *bike.......... IT'S LUSH :D
(*okay, so I really didn't get that involved)
dt happy birthday!!
cake fest tonight, last one to puke looses
hell yeah!

I HATE... idiot poser cyclists who speed up to overtake me, only to cut in close in front, slow down and then take their hands of their bars. This move also has to include a quick look at me to ensure I've seen them. TWATS. Now get your hands back on the bars and get the fuck out of my way as I am not impressed at all.
I also hate the man at one of my regular pick-ups who let the barrier go down on my head yesterday. C'mon, your job is to open and close a barrier and you *still *let it land on me.
Okay, that's enough hate...where's that LOVE thread? I love Chocolate. Its grrreat. The second best thing on the planet :D

If I wasn't a messenger I would definitely use a two shouldered ruck-sack like I used to when I was commuting.
I currently use a Chrome Metropolis which I think is brilliant and have had no problems with - fully waterproof, easily adjustable, loads of pockets and an extra strap. I have a Bagaboo workhorse which I haven't used yet as I am STILL FCUKING INJURED. I'll let you know which I prefer when I get back to work :D
