Everything works until it fails.

I have used up all my tubes in a ride. bad day, but it can happen. i might laugh at Mr. "call an Uber," but I might be making that call some day.

I'd rather spend ten or 15 minutes changing a tube than spend however much it costs to get a ride. others, who knows?

Funny, though. I have "tubeless-ready" wheels and ties on a couple bikes but don't run tubeless on them (long story.) Because of that, wrestling the tires off the rims is a Bear, a big ugly 45-minute bear sometimes. One night I was sitting under a streetlight breaking tire levers when a car pulled up. Turns out one of my riding buddies ... drives an Uber part time.

i didn't take a ride, but it was sort of comical .. and it is always nice to have someone to laugh with after breaking a tire lever taking 40 minutes to get a damned tire off a wheel.
