I'm always glad if it is the rear, it's easier to control when it goes down, the tire that is.

Fronts really suck when they go flat while riding.

Just my $0.02 worth.

TR,

Glad to see you made it home also.

Dang...and I thought it was pretty bizarre that I had an allen wrench in my back tire a couple months back.  As has been said, sure am glad you got home ok.
