yeah, keeping a spare tube, or even a patch kit in a seat tube bag are basic necessities for any cyclist. So, when I once had a flat, I went, maybe a few feet before I got off and replaced the tube. I usually check the rear tire if it is too worn and needs to be replaced every so often. The rear especially, since it wears out first. The OP made it home, but should learn from this mishap
