That is right...flats happen no matter how well prepared or well you think you are riding. Don't piss off your friends by not having an extra bike tube and a patch kit. Don't depend on your friends to have extra gear for you. We always ride with an extra tube and a patch kit....again....tube and patch kit.
1 -- an extra tube is quicker to change tire...your friends have to wait less...and also depending on weather, you might want to be quick about fixing the flat
2 -- You might get more than one flat...or your patches fail
3 -- A friend might have been stupid and not brought an extra tube or patch kit...so you can help them out
That is a question we could talk in long detail about...but to keep it simple
1. improper tire pressure
2. hitting something hard
3. rolling over something sharp
4. etc
We will have some more posts on how to change tires...types of lingo for tire flats...and which patches are better etc.

It was a cold morning and windy at -13C...but the air is fresh... So decided to be less lazy...and went out for a 640am bicycle ride to see the sunrise.
The wind...niptastic...i went out at 640am to catch the sunrise... Was a nice sunrise...but my bike punished me for sleeping outside. My front brake froze and so did my front shifter. It made the climbs harder and descents more interesting; especially with some little hard snow crust and ice.
Did i pee on my bike you ask? Well yes i did. That golden shower gave it some temporary rotatory satisfaction...but it was only temporary, although worth it to start the steeper descent in relative safety...
Have a great Tuesday...the weekend isn't far away

It's gonna get colder in the next few days...so here is another winter cycling tip...ice
Don't use your brakes on ice...keep a strong core..keep your bike straight..and coast ..if looks bad...get off and walk safely and slowly...don't fall and hurt yourself.

Be careful for ice patches while cycling. Some tips
- reduce air pressure
- use cx tires or other
- spikey tires when more extreme
- always use good judgement and ride safe .
