That's two for me. I can't count the pinch as a puncture exactly

Previous total 0 so 0 + 1 = 1
That's about 7 less than last year

Workmate looked on incredulously as I patched the tube rather than replace it. Might be time for new tyres soon.

The following week I was in Brisbane so commuted and got a puncture near home...couldnt find the culprit but the tyre went flat after a accident prone intersection. The worse part was the gas failed so had no way to pump the tube up...lucky the wife was up the road.
That puts me at 6 now...enough for the year I think...now carry 2 gas canisters and have a pump in the lap top bag for commutes and a new batch of tubes

I did get a good distance out of that tyre, but glass finished it. Put a new one on and a new tube.

Front on the fixie, I was only 1k from home so I rode it home. Decided to replace the tyre (pro3race -> pro3race) to give me a nice shiny one for the remainder of winter. The pro4endurance on the back is looking pretty good, not much in the way of cuts.
I put a new pre-luved tube in, patched the old one and will leave it with some air in it for 24 hours to confirm all is good before folding it up for a spare
