The night with the sound of footsteps...

All started good with a quick call from Brian (HKfixies) who suggested to have a ride from Canary Wharf to Greenwich O2. First ever meeting with Brian, a Mondo frame with a pair of very attractive Hed wheels. Before we got any further, we popped by this Chinese noodle restaurant just round the corner of the station @ Cutty Sark for a bite.

Easy ride down to O2 with barely any traffic in sight.
When we hit the O2, thought the fun might be just about to start... a loud hiss that could be heard miles away and before I realised, the distressed look on Brian's face said it all. A blardy puncture on his rear bling tubular hed >.<"

An early night for me and a long walk for Brian with only the sound of his own footsteps...


p.s. Pic taken right after his puncture where the fun has left the cold night.

Tht's what i've been telling him that he'll regret rolling with tubulars. Not in London for sure.

LOL lets all have sympathy for this poor chap, he got his front tub punctured while pushing his ride back too - took him over an hour :O

Lesson well learnt i hope!
