Traffic incident

of course. GoNzo's point of extricating yourself from the area is always the most legally defensible course of action

I never said you had to drive round said person to make the getaway though

As well as saving space, the canned stuff saves a bit of weight and a substantial amount of money, so it's no wonder that car makers have jumped on the opportunity

Several have lost sales as a result though Yes.. it was a criterion for my last new car purchase. No, the 'oh but you get 3 years free roadside recovery so you don't need a spare wheel' didn't cut it

You, sir/madam, need to watch more House

I'm not sure how you'd stow a walking stick on a bike short of a goldwing, although a holster would look cool.

Two loops around one fork leg, or a sheath, or a rear clamp, or a cross-bar grip, or a shoulder sling, or even just get one of the telescopic/collapsible sticks.

You'd be surprised how many disabled people still ride bikes.
You'd be even more surprised at how I could manage my weekly 80mile round-trip to martial arts class with all my kit, plus a broadsword and a set of cudgels on the bike...!

SAVES money?
You can get a punctured £200 tyre repaired for £10 and use it normally thereafter. You can't repair one that has had tyre gunk used on it and it's still highly advisable to replace the gunked tyre at the earliest opportunity.

So not only do you risk roadside recovery if the damage can't be gunked, but you still have to buy a new tyre afterward anyway.

Saves money for the car maker, which is the important one since they're deciding whether to find space for an extra wheel or toss a can in the glovebox

It's a wasted saving then, as I'll not be buying their stoopid car with their stoopid fix kit or mini-wheel.
