I also popped my front tube yesterday! Luckily, I had an Ed to pick me up. You maybe need an Ed, too.
You can rent them if you only need one occasionally.
I popped a rear tube. I could have used an Ed.
There were two of us who managed to successfully bike to the Fells without popping tubes! And I managed to get home. Looking out for potholes in the dark is … interesting. Oh and dumb cyclists running red lights.
