FWIW I've had to do the walk...I feel your pain. FWIW I've had to do the walk of shame also, except I had about 4-5 miles to cover and was just the wrong side of the highest point in London...which I of course had to walk over dragging my sickly bike......<br /><br />1 morning I also managed to puncture both tyres. Not a problem when you carry 2 inner tubes but not very useful when you rip the valve off one as you blow it up. The only saving grace was that the puncture on the rear was VERY easy to spot so I didn't need to completely remove the inner from tyre to patch it (important lesson ALWAYS have a backup plan!)<br /><br />Yes days like this are shit, but I tend to try and look at them as "character building" ;-)Mark Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687296045166324440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805138158441245701.post-72228176090734833202012-02-22T22:53:33.276+00:002012-02-22T22:53:33.276+00:00ooh, ouch.

I'm glad to see your grasp of technical terms exceeds mine though...<br /><br />Down here in Dumfries & Galloway we've got one bus that takes bikes, allegedly, though not on a rack. You're supposed to ring up on the day of travel to make sure that the right bus is running.

Always admired them on trips to USA and Switzerland. <br /><br />We've all done the walk of shame.

You guys should get rack 'n roll on your buses, it's perfect for when that happens.
