Fixing a puncture is also a guilt free way to have a little rest.
In the off chance that your tyres get punctured, would you not just use public transport?
I would lock my bike up to a nearby rack, and then catch a bus or taxi to where-ever I need to be. Do other people's tyres get punctured that often to make it worthwhile constantly carrying a repair kit?
Generally agree, though I would add beginners. I am sure most of us did it when we were kids/when we began adult cycling.only idiots ride without a pump and a kit/spare tubes.
