oh dear, that's not cool but, on the plus side, happy hour Beer makes everything better. beer and women*  And I'm sorry for your trouble. This problem has never occurred to me since I use an electric most of the time, and if not, I just have someone push me. I'ma diva I know.  But anyway, I imagine this can quite a problem for manual wheelers who are out an about. So my question is, if this were to happen to any of u what would u do? May I suggest a portable pump that u can fit in your bag? lol. |

(Yes, there are a few advantages in live at a small town, indeed!) In spite of this, I should consider your suggestion of bring with me a portable pump for emergencies! Thank you, my friend! |

Flat tire... Say what? Flat free inserts man! Are flat free inserts only for electric wheelchairs? I haven't had a flat tire in 15 years. I've ran over a nail and a broken glass bottle... kept on rolling just fine.

(1) Isn't flat tire a beer. I believe it would be apropos for someone to give you a second (liquid) one to keep you happy.
(2) … Bike shops aren't open until like, 9 pm where you live? Or was this a late night (extra) happy hour?

My last flat tyre was Thursday morning at 06:30am, luckily enough it was nearby my home. So I could return to fix it. I have had many flat tyres over the years, sometimes months without and sometimes several in one week. I always have a repair kit to fix flat tyres with me. Because you never know when it happens! I Have had at flat tyres on the strangest places so I'm always prepared to fix it.

I'd think solid tires would be really uncomfortable when using the chair on anything but perfectly flat surfaces.
