I bring them but hate using them because I'm at the age (73) where I don't really want that extra workout in a crunched over position. Instant backache!
A great workout? Do you get a flat every day? That's the only way it would be a "good" workout. I average one flat every 6 months, so not much of a workout there going on.
Did you not see th JK part? I get flats several times a year. I don't seem to get them on days I don't ride, and there are months where I live when you can't ride due to snow and ice. Then I hike, snowshoe, ski, etc. I don't get flats on any of those, so I don't carry a pump and have to lift weights or go to a bouldering ym for the upper body workout
