Screw them if they're not carrying their own.

My sentiments exactly.

I was on my last sportive of the year a couple of weeks ago and there were tons of punctures. In the first 20 miles I must have seen 5 or 6 fixing by the side of the road. One guy asks me if I had a spare tube. Bollox to that, especially after such a short distance. Some people have no idea..

I'll always carry 2 tubes and C02 cans.
