I finally bought a floor pump yesterday. Bought the Bontrager Charge for $30bux. LBS said the gauge is pretty accurate and goes up to 160psi. The only gear I bring with me is my cellphone and wallet when I cycle. My normal route is 24kms and if I do get a flat, I have many people in the area who can pick me up. =P
When I do expand my route I will probably carry extra gear like pump, tubes, etc. but I ride light for now.
