+1 for stop-n-go mushroom type, you can get a kit with CO2 cylinders to blow tyres up and fits under seat if necessary..you can buy the little co2 bottles very easily, but you need an adaptor ( supplied with kit ) to adapt bottle thread to Schrader valve on tyre. You roughly need 2 bottles for front tyre and 3 or 4 for back tyre to blow up a flat tyre.

You need the threaded 16 gram type

I put kit in car when not using bike in winter and if I go on long journey in the car.
Have a practice with inserting plugs, easy once you know how, be careful loading mushroom and make sure not to trap the head in the applicator or it will never go through hole in the tool no matter how hard you screw the plunger down . I put a bit of extra pure silicone lube in the plastic bag with the plugs - needs to be smeared on the mushroom head before trying to extrude it through the application tool, they do come pre coated with lube but didn't look enough for me. Don't use
petroleum based lube as it will attack to rubber.
