Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Roadside Fix-A-Flat??

During a race on Sunday, one of the riders in our lead group noticed his rear wheel was going flat. He pulled over, pulled out what looked like an inflator, and I figured he was out. Less than two minutes later he was back in the pack. Said he had something that could inflate and repair the tube without taking it off the rim. I know this stuff is made for cars, but is it available for bike tires as well? If so, what is it, and where can I get it??
