I wouldn't ride farther than I'm willing to walk without bringing along a tube, patches, tire levers, and either a mini pump or some CO2.
IKR. One hot, humid Sunday a few summers ago I needed to take a quick ride to the liquor store for some wine for dinner. Total distance was maybe two miles each way. Didn't bother taking my flat changing stuff. Can't remember why I made that decision. Got a block from the liquor store and flatted. No way was I going to walk the bike home in all that heat and humidity with no shade. Thought about a cab but then remembered there was a LBS two and a half blocks away. Sucked it up and paid it to fix my flat.
