act like an ass. (done!) then go on a bike ride and get a flat. replace tube, use two co2 cartridges filling said tube, watch said tube not hold air. replace second tube with last spare and use last two cartridges filling third tube. spend the rest of the ride concerned.

to be fair, karma probably should have left me stranded without normal shoes and a long walk. so excuse me while i go fall in the shower and and spend the next week wondering why i didn't get a life alert bracelet.
