I just learned to change a tube quickly. Seems like the best approach. On my fixed-gear, I use glueless patches so I don't have to wrench the wheel off. Just pull the tube out enough to patch it and replace when I get home.
They get through so much, that it just isn't worth ruining the ride quality for them.
