So instead of turning back to get it I went on. Well, what do you know, the odds were 100%, just 10 km later. So I had to make that dreaded Honey-can-you-pick-me-up call. My first one.
Why don't I have a kit attached to the bike at all times? Good question. I will in the future.
Lesson learned, I suppose, if there is a lesson to be learned here.
That's too bad. But weren't there any buses you could have taken? That's what those bike racks on the front are for.
I hadn't have to make any calls like that. My worse moment was getting a flat at Bayview and Rosedale Valley Road. I couldn't fix the flat because I couldn't find the puncture. So I rolled it to the Yonge/Bloor Subway Station and took it to Bike Pirates.
