Well that was quite informative. I enjoyed the reasons why you carry a pump instead of co2.

Hopefully you remember to replace your tube so you have a new one next time you go out. Maybe keep your extra co2 in the same drawer as your new tubes.

Hopefully you don't forget your tube back there in your saddle bag, out of sight and all.
Seriously, these reasons for carrying a pump over co2 are crap. Just tell people you carry the pump for peace of mind and be done with it.
