RE: Some days are better than others
If you think Scotrail are bad you should try Abelio Greater Anglia! Seriously though you should get a saddle bag with some spare tubes in it, flats are gonna happen! My mate got one yesterday about 30 miles from home on a main road in the pouring rain... not good!
Yeah Abelio took over Scotrail too, but they were shit a long time before they got there, I think they just made it worse.
You are right about the spare tubes, but yesterdays one was a tiny shared of metal that I could only get out with a pair of needle nose pliers.
To be fair though my tyres have done over 3.5k miles and this is the first puncture they have had. They are incredibly slow but they are usually bomb proof. I have cycled over things that would have made a standard tyre pop. These are the bad boys https://www.schwalbe.com/gb/tour-reader/marathon-gt-365.html
Offt 30 miles from home, that is some trek back.
