Okay so I have a big ride in Kent that I'm wanting to do tomorrow morning and a bloke riding across a pedestrian crossing over a red light just slammed into my front wheel and burst the inner tube! Less than ideal.

The importance of having a inner tube handy is not lost on my at this moment.

Might limp it to the train station in the morning and see what Whitstable's bike shops are made of

Big burst along a seam. Definitely not salvageable

Got sorted fairly quickly by Herberts Cycles in Whitstable, who had Brompton-appropriate tubes in stock. Evidence: video of me cycling with visible sea in background!
