I've rarely been stranded on a bike ride, and never due to flat tires. I've had 3+ flats on a ride a few times, but I carry 2 spare tubes and a patch kit (and a pump instead of CO2 cartridges). I've had large enough slashes that I've had to boot tires a few times. Once, I had a casing rupture to large too boot, but this was on an organized century ride, and another rider was carrying a spare tire which he gave me, so I was able to complete the ride. But I've never had abandon a ride due to flats.
