I have 7 bikes that can be used for commuting but the more important question is: Why is your normal ride "down" for repairs? Not one of my bikes is more than about 10 minutes (max) away from being ready to hit the road. If a problem crops up on one of my bikes, including flats, the bike is fixed before I put it on the hook in the garage. My home shop rivals the shop in most bike shops around here.
