Road starts to feel rough/squishy - pinch flat. Get off at a safespot in the trees and replace tube only to find out either crappy little bike pump is shot or the replacement tube is shot. Ended up running/jogging the rest of the way to work. Borrowed a decent bike pump to find out I must have pinched the replacement tube while changing. Borrowing some stuff so I can go to the bike shop and get some tubes so I can make it home... Other than that, today is great out in eastern PA.
