flat right before thanksgiving. awesome.
i had planned to bring my bike out to the parent's house for thanksgiving so i could screw around while all the old guys fell asleep.
i check it now, 1130pm, and it's got a flat, with no puncture that i can see.
aaaaand i don't have a repair kit.
aaaaand tomorrow the bike store will be closed because it's thanksgiving.
ffffffuuuuuuuu

It may sound funny but I have used ducktape with success. Id say go for it. The pressure between the tube and tire will hold it in place.

post craigslist ad in the bike section: need tube or patch kit, will pay cash.
you'll have a tube in an hour.
you're in nyc man...you can get anything 24/7

Worst case scenario: find the puncture. Cut it out with scissors. Your tube is now a hose, not a tube. Tie a knot in it. Re-install. Yes you will feel a bump when the knot comes around but you can ride.
