Is it super lame to take a bike with a puncture to a bike repair shop?
People are telling me to do this...but it really seems like something so simple you're meant to do it  yourself.

Spanish ain't so bad.  Russian is full of ridiculously overrendered crap though.

I am not sure what you mean.

You ask the weirdest questions.

It's a business. Usually businesses like having pratons doing business in their business.  :hmm:

Yet it's not so simple for you to do it yourself or you wouldn't be having this dilemma. Sounds like something you can get done for cheap/free too.

I was neither a member or paid them.

I must not have found the correct forum then.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I don't know if I could do it myself, I've never had to. The bitching is more that it would take time and effort and I would have to find a puncture repair kit too.

Think I will end up going to the bike repair shop. I'm rich enough for such trifling spending.

Yeah, obviously they want the business, but am I giving it to them unecessarily.

Where would you get a puncture repair kit, the bike shop?

That depends on how much money you have & how you believe your time is worth.

Reminds me of Kiddie City, my favorite toy store when I was a kid.  Out of business now. :(

I loved Children's Palace. I too, miss the huge toy stores.  :(

QuoteWe recently spent a week in Los Angeles and noticed  how much friendlier and welcoming Californians were than in our native New York.

We were missing some of that New York edge. It didn't take long for it to return. As our JetBlue flight was landing at J.F.K., we heard an announcement: "Those of you who have luggage to claim, you'll find it at Carousel 2. Those of you who just like looking at people trying to find their luggage, you'll also find them at Carousel 2."

A few minutes later a flight attendant announced that bags would be at Carousel 4.

New Yorkers know not to believe everything they hear: the bags were at Carousel 5.

:D
