Moped Puncture

    So I got a puncture driving home today... Where's the best place to get it fixed?
    Also does anywhere offer a pick up service? Pushing the bike less than a mile today nearly killed me!! (Maybe I should lay off the pints/pies)

    I'd give it a go myself but i havent a breeze where to start and the bike could do with a few other things, like indicators etc

    Thanks

    Any bike shop should be able to do the repair.
    Carole Nash have a break down service included which is why KTRIC asked the question, I think. Don't know if CN insure scooters, but then again, never asked. The two insurance companies are a law unto themselves.

    If it's a front wheel that has puncture, removing wheel should be simple and make getting the repair done a heck of a lot easier. No need to push, which I've done too and is none too pleasant.
    If it's a slow puncture, you might get away with using a foot pump to inflate tyre and ride to a bike shop, just don't be too eager to ride flat out (pun intended...)

    Failing that, Ultra Seal or something similar may be enough to get you mobile again. Which you can get in Mountjoy, who happen to be open late on Thursdays, until 9pm I think, defo until 8pm as I pass the shop then. They open other nights past 6pm.
