LOL I thought that was kinda funny using tire spoons as finger splints. You can only prepare for so much. I am sure that my seat bag and my fanny pack will hold what I need in the warm weather. as it gets colder and I become more experienced with what I might need I will adapt my bike. I really like those single wheel trailers with the nice waterproof bag. I have my eye on that idea to be honest. I would rather carry cargo on that rather than over the rear wheel. Maybe not for commuting but certainly for other adventures, but then who knows
