Trying to beat the heat. If the path is busy (they do marathons, and group walks there), you can always use the roads ;-)I did my first ever Sunday morning ride along the Tamagawa cyclepath. Never again, even at 5:30am, it was so busy. Everywhere I looked there was neon coloured Lycra!

I used one of those patches for half a year until I changed my tires in April. They worked great for me!I'm no fan of those quick patches

Definitely nice to have new tubes with new tires, though.
I use this:Which patches did you both use?

I discard the box, and fold the innards up in the piece of plastic wrapping that it comes in, and it takes up little more room than a 500yen coin.
At Norikura I'd used a quick patch that works without rubber solution to mend the spare after it too had failed about 100 metres after swapping it in (that's then we found the tyre problem). On the train back from Matsumoto that patched tube had lost all air and I had to pump it up outside Shinjuku station to ride home. Then, only a km or so later, it made hissing noises and I had to top it up again and ride home very carefully.
Last year when you and I did Arima Duez partially together, @Sibreen, I used both my tubes and a bunch of patches, trashed a tyre and got really pissed off with valve extensions. That was the second beginning of my journey back from fancy wheels to 'things that work'.Have you ever had to use your patches and both tubes on one ride??
