The idea of betty bike gear started in 2003 after realizing that even some hard core riders and racers aren't always proficient at fixing their bike in an emergency. At several cross country mountain bike races I saw women walking their bikes back to the finish area. Why? Because they had a flat or a broken chain and were not prepared to fix it. They might have had the tools but using them was another story. Since then I have also seen multiple recreational riders walking with their bike or asking someone else to help them out. Those experiences spawned the idea to create kits that include all the tools needed and Step-by-step instructions with pictures. In 2005, I applied my background in the training industry and cycling experience to found betty bike gear. Each betty bike gear product comes with an illustrated, waterproof instruction pamphlet or instructions printed on the tool as appropriate. Video Podcasts can also be downloaded from the website for additional instruction. betty bike gear’s mission is to allow people to ride with confidence, never fearing that they will be stranded due to common cycling emergencies. Flat Tire Kit What good is a fancy bike, heart rate monitor or that cute jersey if you're stuck on the side of the trail or road? Sorry betty, there is no AAA for bikes on the Slickrock trail or on your favorite country road. Remember what your Mom always said... "Be Prepared! Plan for the worst." That way if you run over some glass or hit a sharp rock you won't have to walk out or risk having some macho guy hit on you as he helps you out! Kit Includes: 23 oz. H20 bottle, tearproof/weatherproof take- along instructions, Glueless Patches (you don't want to mess with glue!), CO2 Inflator and cartridge (quick and easy to use), 2 Tire Levers.
