Then it will happen that the person with a flat does not
have quick-release skewers. Without the tools, you cannot
get their wheel off to put the fresh tube on. Dammit!
Shoulda just brought a patch kit for non-conformers...

To anyone who says Ast was 'asking for trouble' or reminded her of the fact that she was a bit unprepared: You suck.
It's happened to us all - the old flat when you have no spares. At the end of the day, I don't think stopping to help someone is excessively nice - it's the right thing to do. NOT stopping, however, is really fscking rude and I can't believe anyone would not stop. Even if it were just to see if they were ok or if they needed to use a phone etc. It's not that hard and you should be ashamed of yourselves.
*adjusts halo*
Lotte
P.S. Paulie, read the above. If I find out you've passed a stranded cyclist, particularly a female, I will skin you alive. Mofo.

I can see that there is a Great Need for really bling pumps so that
riders will apply the N+1 rule to them too.

Seeing as N=1 for the forseeable future (if only because there's no
room in the shed for a trike and I can't afford the $$ for an HP
velotechnik Grasshopper) the value of N for pumps is.... 2.
One on the bike, and one floor pump of course!

I agree - if I don't buy a pump for each bike, then I'm sure to forget to move
'em over as needed - like I do the bike computer sometimes.

My problem is the spares bag itself. Too many trips home for

So you have one bag per bike. Gives you a chance to buy the latest
new fancy aero wedgy whatsit!
Or else you have a bum bag that you clip to your helmet when you take
them both off.
