        There are dozens of us!

        I just have some knock off Amazon bags on the rack and bungee cables I got at a dollar store, nothing fancy yet. Sometimes I attach a milk crate too.

        Inside the bags I keep a basic set of bike tools, a patch, and a pump along with a poncho.

          Brothers.

          do not trust this bike. i had two flat tires, in less than five days.

          one i could inflate, but the pressure would slowly decrease. So i bought a patch kit to try and fix it. i submerged the whole tube, and no air was escaping. I had to go to a repair shop and he simply cut the old one and put it around the new one, like a jacket.

          The second flat was today. Instant flat, and it was the motor tire. Tried to inflate it, the PSI would be stuck at 5.

          Do you guys have any ideas on how to stop flat tires forever? i dont want to have a flat tire ever again. I am thinking of buying the fluid thing that can be squeezed into the tube, but tomorrow i will ask the bike shop.

          I keep the cheap tools that came with the bycicle, and I am thinking of buying one of those gels that can be pumped inside the tyre, so that if I ever get a puncture the gels just fills the hole.

          In so doing i don’t have to worry about flats, correct PSI, to carrying a pump etc.

          What do you think?
