C'mon, this is ridiculous.
I just pay a support staff to drive around in a car behind me with a bunch of spare wheels. When I flat, my mechanic just jumps out with a new wheel. I like to yell at him as he's furiously trying to change it (thru-axles... amirite?). Sometimes I like to throw my bike down in a big hissy fit just to see how fast he will grab my backup bike off the roof rack. I usually ride away waving an arm and shaking my head in disgust at how slow the whole process is.
