Just wanted to say thanks to the two gentlemen who helped me with my puncture this morning.
To the guy in blue kit riding a Specialized- thanks again for giving me your spare tube.
To the guy in the black Attaquer kit riding a Giant - thanks again for lending me your hand-pump.
I will endeavor to help others when I'm out on the road.
Cheers,
Geoff

Cyclists ae generally a pretty good lot. Time for you to carry some tool, a pump and a spare tube. You never know when you might need to help out a fellow cyclist - or even repair your own bike.

I would suggest carrying a puncture repair kit or pre-glued patches as well. I punctured a few weeks ago and both my spare tubes had holes in them. Admittedly, I hadn't punctured in over 15,000km so the spare tubes had likely degraded. A passing cyclist kindly gave me a pre-glued patch. Now I carry a pack of pre-glued patches as well.

I have volenteered my tubes, CO2 cannisters, pump etc when I've been on the road. I have also had to rely on peoples help when I have exhausted my supply.
It would be advisable to carry the stuff you need in the event of a flat though. A pump or CO2 kit, some levers and a spare tube are a must when on the road.

Yeap!
I always carry one...just forgot I ran out. Felt the pain this morning.
Just went down to CBD bike shop and got a tube!
