Was riding home when I started feeling like I was climbing a Huge hill forever. Thought man I'm weak today. Stopped at the stop sign. Bam tire flat had to push the bike home 2 miles. I felt so relieved. ... I thought I was super out of shape. Lol... moral is. Carry tube pump and tools.

    Ha! Been there!

    I had a leak one day, and reached a point where I almost stopped to figure out if there was a steady wind I was fighting but didn't notice. At some point where the road or trail got bumpier I figured out how low the tire was.

    I still haven't got a bag so I can carry a tube, but I do have a pump. And this is after having to jog the bike home a few miles once, and calling my other half to come pick me up another time. I'm a slow learner!

    I saw online there is a tool bag bottle sits in the lil bottle rack that some bikes have. Might get that. Tube pump and wrench for wheel

    you can get a tiny bag that fits under the seat. Mine holds a tube, levers and a mini pump.
