My bike passed air for the first time yesterday.
It happened while I was nearing the Cauvery Junction signal on MG Road. One moment I was weaving through the traffic and the next there was a loud 'pop' and my front wheel tire deflated instantly.
Since it happened when I was very close to my workplace, I walked the bike to workplace. No such luck while going back. Had to walk it 6 km back home.
Briefly contemplated loading it into an auto but considering the fact that I don't get an auto to oblige me on normal days, decided to ditch the idea on a strike day.
An hour to walk some 6 and odd km and I was home. The bike-repair guy showed me a hole in the tire the size of the back of the barrel of a ball point pen.
