Looking into a waterproof container to hold one in though ..
You just reminded of the one real scare I had on the way home from AZ.... cruising across that bridge in late evening traffic...when brake lights start coming on in front of me...seems two idiots thought it was a good idea to change a tire in the middle of the bridge in the right hand lane...yeah you might ruin a rim limping it off the bridge...but it would be better than just stopping and blocking one lane of a two lane bridge...(sorry to hijack your thread Jay)

P.S. Heavy Duty Zip Lock (freezer) bag works for me
