We recommend carrying a spare inner tube with you when riding your
bike, as patching a tube is an emergency repair. If you do not execute it
correctly or if you apply multiple patches, it can result in possible tube
failure. This could cause you to lose control and fall. Replace a patched
tube immediately.
