i dont spose any forumengers happen to work as a bike mangler at the brixton, effra road branch of pissing halfords? cos when i told you to go fuck yourself on account of you flatly refusing to lend me a spanner so i could fix a flat, and then proceeded to laugh at my predicament - i rrrrrreally meant it.
i know it's unlikey, but feels good to vent.
^WTF?
why do you need a spanner to fix a flat?
(only joking, what a dick)

On a serious note, the best place to ride isn't a place at all - it's at night. I've recently taken to a quick burn late at night. Lovely feeling, buildings all lit up, space, time, no light, lovely stuff.
Yep - in the week I usually finish work any time after midnight. Once last week I experienced the city at 5.30pm... wowzers. I don't envy you 9-5ers. Glad my usual weekday commute is 3pm.

I think a more accurate Starbucks/chippy analogy would be going in and asking for a glass of water. "Why don't you carry a bottle of water if you're going to get thirsty riding your bike" (a valid point, but I've given water to couriers and let them use the toilets at the bar I work in. I'm not going to "laugh at their predicament").
But your closing line is spot-on, I really don't understand people who don't carry the simplest of tools. I got a flat yesterday and it probably added about ten minutes onto my journey, meh.
