After 2 months of owning a roadbike I had my first puncture today:( , I was cycling through a town that I've passed through before but haven't paid much attention to.
Stopping the bike, I figured that it would be easier to pump up the tire with a track pump than my Mini-pump, so I asked a pedestrian if there was a LBS, he looked at me smiled and pointed to a bikeshop that was about 20yards down the road.
The owner couldn't have been more helpful(they always are), and after a nice chat I went on my way again.
So have you been the recipient of good fortune on your travels ?
