Had a flat on the road

Called OnStar. Had a guy with a flatbed to me in about 1/2 hour. Took it to a tire shop who fixed the flat and that was that. Not good, but not too bad.
HOWEVER, every time I go on a road trip I worry a little bit about it.
Maybe a dumb question but I'll ask anyway, don't you need two spares, front and rear?
Also, we are in good company. Look at most of the exotics, or even Porches. None of them have spares.
BTW. my flat was on the Richmond/San Rafael, bridge, no place to pull over. Had to drive about a mile on the bridge watching the tire pressure indicator show less and less pressure. First pull off was for San Quentin prison, so that's where I was.
