Flat tire out on the road
The Half Bike really looks like a lot of fun and your able to get a lot of exercise. I do ride a road bike and occasionally get a flat tire far away from home and have to make repairs
on the road by swapping out the tube with a spare I carry or patching the punctured one. My concern is what do I need for repairs and how easy is it for the Half Bike if I get a flat far away from home?

Hi Russell,
Changing tires is more or less the same as a classical bike, except the tires are switched. Here you can see our front tire tutorial
halfbikes.com/halfbike-3-front-tire-replacement and the rear two tires are pretty straight forward (jut a nut to unscrew - some people even order a full back wheel and take it with them, it's pretty compact).
We also offer filling the tires with liquid sealant, which decreases the chance of getting a puncture.
