I always seem to get a flat fire on my bike when I'm at the very furthest point of my ride. Funny how that works.

@MLE_online the tire knows

@fredy It does. It gets scared from being so far from home and loses its concentration

@MLE_online It’s Michelin’s Rule.

When I used to cycle to work it was guaranteed that when I got a puncture it would be at the bottom of the big hill to climb exactly half way between work and home where I kept spare inner tubes. It was not a great place with space to take the bike off the pavement/road and attempt a repair with a kit.

@MLE_online I basically never got flat tyres with my Marathon Pluses, but I did once think "oh this would be a convenient place to break down" as I was next to a train station at the far side of my ride, then I rode over a branch that wedged itself in my rear wheel and ripped through some spokes and broke the derailleur.

Then I realised the trains weren't running that weekend, and had to wait over an hour for a rail replacement coach. I should've just walked back at that point.
