Third puncture in 5 weeks

Yesterday wheeled the bike out of the house to go to kayaking only to find the front wheel flat. So hastily wheel it into the kitchen, unload the gear, get the folding bike out of the dining room into the hall, reload gear, and off I go.

Tempted to just take it to the bike shop again, but eventually got the better of my lazy side and got the bike upside down only to find I couldn't undo the nuts to get the wheel off.

This morning wheeled the bike round to the bike shop to find it closed. Wondered if their other shop would be open so wheeled it the mile and a half there to find the sign that showed that shop doesn't normally open on Sundays anyway.

Hope I will have time to get puncture done Saturday afternoon as I find folding bike doesn't get up the short, steep slopes by locks and I would like to get out on the bike several times over the Easter weekend. It also keeps slipping its gears.

The main bike has the fancy tyres, but you never know about the punctures you would have got - just the ones you do!
