Flat tyre, roadside patience.

Close up of a badly torn car tyre sidewall with a thumb providing scale; part of the alloy wheel is visible and the tread shows mud and wear.

Three young people walking down the street, with two fatbikes. In the middle, a girl with an 'E-FATHER' fatbike with a flat rear tyre. The others are looking at here bemusedly.

The Earth may not be flat but my bike's rear tyre is.

A comedian throwing her hands in the air in exasperation stands in front of a bicycle. Behind the bicycle is a globe of the Earth. Text: The Earth may not be flat but my bike's rear tyre is.

Puncture repair kits instead of spare wheels?
Great in theory, in practice…. Not so much.
Mobile tyre call-out estimated time, two days!
Had lots to do over the next 48 hours, no it going anywhere now.

Picture shows a white car with a flat tyre. Attached to the tyre is a red tube connected to a white container containing what’s left of the repair glue. The white container is connected to a black electronic air pump.
All over the ground, over the wheel and the visible surfaces of the car shows sighs of being sprayed with the repair liquid.
The tyre is still flat.

We had a flat tyre and just used one of the Sealey CTI130 tyre inflators to get us out of trouble. Handy little thing, almost pocket sized and doubles as a USB power bank with torch! Vary handy to have around.
