When I want to walk I go for a walk. When I want to ride... I ride. When my bike gets a flat I repair it, usually in less than 15 mins. and I keep riding. It's all about degrees. Does someone with severe allergies carry an epi-pen? Of course, they do, just stupid not to. Could I walk my bike to some other location to repair a flat? Sure, why would I? The real question is why wouldn't someone... wait!!!! We already answered that, didn't we?
