I don't think forgetfullness is limited to my brother in law, but being an MD I am sure he forgets his share of things.
I too forget things sometimes. Last weekend i left my duffel bag with all of my bike gear on the garage floor,while packing the car for a trip, so i was forced to ride without any of it.
It doesn't take a lot of imagination to think of a way you could end up without a frame pump but i'll break it down for ya.
1. It could quit working.
2. Someone could steal it off your bike and you not notice it.
3. You could lay it down while working on your bike etc. and forget to re-attach it. Then you could end up hauling your bike a hundred miles into the woods only to notice you have a flat and you forgot it. Then you pull into the only business in town which is a gas station...........guess what kind of chuck they have on their compressor?
Again, this is only for the forgetfull people.
