Same here in Australia. The #RACV #BikeCover is included in the regular memberships but can be purchased separately for just AUD 47 dollars a year. They’ll get you and your bike home, even if you are just too tired or exhausted. www.racv.com.au/cars-transpo...

Is that like TripleA?
@SimonCHulse Oh dear. Was it just a flat or something else? Always good to carry a spare inner tube, pump and tire changing tools.
@rob @SimonCHulse I adore tubeless tyres, I've never had a puncture with one. Can be tricky to setup initially-you need specific rim tape and tubeless compound- but pay a bike shop to do that 🙂
@Niall @SimonCHulse Sounds like witchcraft to me!
@rob nah, just engineering! I used to run Schwalbe Marathon tyres on my cargo bike too. They had a thick 'puncture preventing' pad in them and also seemed very free-running (fast :) )@SimonCHulse
@Niall @rob this bike requires a skilled mechanic for the rear wheel, on account of the enviolo gear hub and belt drive. Plus the weight of the bike needing support while the wheel is off.
@SimonCHulse @Niall Yeah, that does sound like a job for someone who knows what they're doing. Hope it all comes out OK!
@rob @Niall have heard of them. Maybe next time. Not exactly flush with $ at the moment.
@SimonCHulse ask for a price all the same, it may not be too bad. Good luck :-) @rob
