Yeah, and the first one was 18 miles from home, 3 miles from a meeting I was heading to, and 5 miles past work. I didn't know what a bad rim strip looked like, I had two spare tubes and a patch kit but couldn't make anything stay. The tube would pop as I was pumping it up. I wound up walking 5 miles back to work.

It blew the last 2 times on the way home from work. I was an hour late. That was the day my wife made me go get a cell phone. Luckily prepaid phones are dirt cheap, because other than for emergencies I wouldn't bother having one.
