Practice at home before you ride. Flats are infrequent but tube swaps are part of the deal.
I have no doubt whatsoever I could learn how to do it. But all the crap I'd need all the sudden and have on me at all times? The tube, the pump, the levers... and a place to put them, That's what seems like a PITA.
