I worked at a place with a zero tolerance for lateness. I always commuted 15 minutes early in case I had a flat.
One time though, the bearing race for my crank broke open and the crank itself flopped sideways. I couldn't pedal. I realized however, I could treat the bike like a giant scooter and kick it along. Though I was several miles from work when the breakdown happened, I arrived on time.
