Riding fail
I got up this morning at 5.40am to go for a bike ride to Bondi and back (I do this about twice a week to stop getting fat well slow down the fatness!).
I met my riding buddy at Stanmore station, and then made it as far as the Caltex servo in Enmore where I decide to put more air in my front tyre. The air compressor was broken so I decided to use my hand pump. I had to inflate the tyre to 95PSI (that’s a hell of alot of pressure!) and somewhere about 70PSI the valve on my inner tube breaks. It just broke. Pssssssfffff. Total flat tyre.
Ride over.
So basically i got up at 20 to 6 in the morning to ride my pushy to the servo in Enmore and then walk home…
Fail.

I feel your pain!
You need to get yourself something like this: http://www.velogear.com.au/products/Floor_Pump_GF33-225-68.html Wouldn’t have stopped the valve breaking, but at least it would have happened at home and you could have gone straight back to bed…:)

I would not classify that as a fail, simply a set back. The fact that you got out of bed that early and had the intention of doing it makes it a pass in my books.
Better luck next time

Good call. I think I will get one of those pumps.
