In 33,908 miles of cycling over the past seven years, I've had a morning flat once. This past Thursday. Since I never wait for the last minute to leave and I get the bike ready while the coffee's perking, it wasn't an emergency.
All good points to think about.

I do have the train which permits cycles as a back-up, which means that I could always get at least one ride in during the day. I really miss being on the bike after months of not commuting.

Thanks.
