Had to leave my e bike down the Meadows yesterday,danged if I didn't have a flat when I was going to leave,luckily Dave was there getting ready for spring plant,I said I have two questions for you..when are you leaving,do you drive a truck,he said in about an hour,no,I drive a car,he ended up carrying my bike back up out of there in the tractor bucket,he even locked it up in a portable storage unit for me.This morning I met him there at 9:30,bike fit in my trunk fine,now I gotta wait til next Thursday for new tires to arrive.Man am I glad Dave was there!

Try some Slime. I've got hundreds of pinhole in my bike tires from these good for nothing goathead thorns around the trails and it's sealed up pretty much 90% of the holes perpetrated by those buggers. Still every now and then I gotta pull over and pull the tire off and get my little patch kit out and put a patch on.

I have a history of having flat tires at bad times and bad locations . But if I think about it a flat tire is not going to be viewed as something that made your day At the end of the day I am still glad some ancient human life invented the wheel.
