Find a small piece of plastic that would be suitable for a sidewall rip and tape it to the small handwipe packet you saved from the fast-food place you always go to. The moist wipe will lubricate the final lip of the tire and tube that you have to seat onto the rim and then you wipe your hands, pump it up and bust your move to get back on the road. And the fiver should be a tenner what with the cost of anything rising as it has been lately. a fiver ?

Only problem was I only had a $50 note on me. Putting that into a tyre and riding 40km home with a bit of the note exposed out the side of the tyre was nerve wracking..
