Passed a guy on my ride yesterday fixing a flat, very wooded part of the MUP, he was gonna be awhile, most of his time was being spent swatting mosquitoes. Me, I would have carried the bike the half mile to the road, and respecting my wives-brother-friends, it was early, called Uber. I can use my multi-tool to quickly strip my bike, so as to fit in any Uber vehicle.
Actually I enjoy a call, to help out a cycling friend. A laugh and some beer is always good!
Back to the point, I always check tire pressure before every ride, but cell phone and a multi-tool for kit, is about it. Although would carry appropriate spares if cell phone coverage in doubt, but my normal route, no issues.
I ride in pretty nice areas, one flat in the last 5 years, not that worried about it.
I’m sure most on this forum do what works for them, depending on where and how they ride, why get bent out of shape over it, who really cares!
