I was really impressed by the Bike dept guy at Halfords today.
I got a new bike last year, moved house and promptly put it in the garage for several months and and forgot about it. When I went to dust it off today, I found the tyres flat and the valves to be of some new-fangled configuration that I've never seen before, and didn't have a pump for.
So... I took the front wheel into Halfords, and off the back of a £2.99 sale of a converter, the guy took 10 mins out of his day to pump the tyre up for me, and to explain in detail how the new valves work. He even apologised for initially keeping me waiting whilst he served someone else.
Most impressed.
