I made a school boy error today and went out without a spare innertube, pump or phone and got stranded with a flatty. I had to sit in a coffee shop watching cyclist's zoom by while waiting for my wife to come get me.

Never again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have we 'all' done it?

Nope. (Where's the smug smiley when you need it)

But earlier this year I did get flagged down by a bloke who had and I was happy to give him a spare tube ( I always have 2) and get him going again.

I'd always be confident that I'd get help if I need it - you should have flagged down some of these passing cyclists.

while out training last summer i came across another biker with an obvious flatty, so out of kindness i stopped and asked if he was ok, he said ye,h no problem mate i always carry two spare tubes, i said good on yer mate so do i. It was only after getting a very odd look from this guy that i realised i had forgotten to put my saddle bag with tubes tyre levers and mobile on the bike, i rode very carefully after that.
