Look mom, you really need to learn how to fix a flat and not depend on someone to come get you just because you have a flat; what if your go to guy is out and can't come get you for hours and you can't reach anyone else?+ Just practice at home then you won't have as many problems on the road when a flat does occur. And then yes, buy a decent frame pump, and since your a woman frame pumps are easier to inflate high pressure tires with vs a mini. Zefal HPX ASV is a very good frame pump; see: http://www.nashbar.com/profile.cfm?c...0Frame%20Pumps
