But really, an emergency tire plug kit, and a bicycle tire pump (they make these things small enough now) would be a good idea. They even have little CO2 inflating devices for bicycles that may be more convenient for the dreaded tire flat in the middle of nowhere! I have found even more room to put stuff under the taillight after "cleaning up" the wire mess back there with nylon "zip strips".
