We stopped at a LBS for a new tube and patch kit on the way home. And obviously my fingers are still a bit dirty from the repair job.
Yeeay. Reminds me of a staple (!) I got in my rear tire last year. I picked it up around the Harlem School of the Arts (W 141st st and St Nicholas St). Another nice gentleman told me about a small bike shop a little further uptown on Amsterdam. I did the walk of shame to the shop and bought two tubes. Of course it was also raining.
But I fixed the flat in the shop so was at least dry for that.
