I had a puncture in my front tyre this morning
I was on my way back home from my morning cycle, but it resisted efforts to pump it up again so I walked the bike back (folded, but it kept veering!)
Second puncture I’ve had in the past few weeks, first ever on the front (on this particular bike that is)
The last puncture a few weeks ago I put my Schwlalblbwle Marathon Winter Plus tyre on the back, so I’ve been cycling with one winter tyre and one normal one (the one the bike came with in fact)
Now I’ve swapped the front for my other Marathon Winter Plus, so I’ve got them on both wheels, which if last year was anything to go by, as soon as I fitted them the weather turned mild and nice, completely not requiring winter tyres at all – for the entire winter I had them on
I also repaired the puncture on the front inner tube but it’s a wider inner tube than the Marathon Winter Plus tyres can take, so I swapped both tyre and inner tube and put the repaired inner tube aside
I blame Newham Council and also the increased amount of just broken glass around all over the place on places we cycle – Newham Council are clearly negligent though in essentially never cleaning it up at all, lots of broken glass has been there for months
