The tyre on my cargo bike exploded on the way to my son’s kindergarten. We made it in time on foot, but now I need to figure out what to do with the bike!

Maybe a bike repair can pick it up?

Yeah, I thought about that, but I just rescheduled some service I needed done tomorrow to a different shop that is ~2 km away, so I’ll just go and hand it off to them. It exploded because I ran over something I thought was just ice, but it turned out to be a piece of metal that was painted white with rust stains on it! My brain is programmed to see dirty ice everywhere now. Damn you brain!

I had a situation like this once where I got a flat tire 10km from home. Luckily we have good buses so I could get home and car sharing so I could rent a van so I could pick up my own bike again

right. 10 km is tricky with a broken bike.

it took about an hour of my time, not too bad
