I'd rather not attempt fixing in the dark of night, especially in a 2-lane city bridge where cyclists pass through non-stop every 2 seconds or so. Good thing New York City's subway system is practically anywhere in the city. I already ordered a new identical tire that night. Should be on its way. Plus, I'd rather let my LBS do the work for me. I'm a consumer victim and too lazy to fix my own bike problems. I know I'll need a new tube as well. Ah well.
