If I need to carry spare clothes (there's been a big temperature drop after it gets dark recently!)
it's easy to bung puncture kit, couple of allen keys, back up LED light etc. in the bumbag along
with it. If I don't however, it's nice to go out with just a mini pump gaffer taped to the frame on
the basis that ever since I was a kid the only problems I've had on a ride are minor punctures which
I can continue with by pumping up every so often.
How common does anyone else find serious punctures that can't just be pumped back up or broken
chains or anything else more serious?
