How To Fix a Flat Tire

When you ride a bicycle sooner or later you will get a flat tire.  Of course the likelihood of getting a flat will increase the more you ride your bike due to glass or debris on the road.  Not knowing how to change a flat you might tell yourself, “I’ll be more careful and watch out for things that could puncture my tire.  I don’t need to learn how to change a flat.”

On the other hand you may decide to opt to store your bike in the garage until you learn to change a flat.  Not maintaining proper tire pressure is not a good solution.  You see when bikes are stored away tires naturally deflate and begin to crack, simply inflating them doesn’t work at this stage.  If this happens you will need to replace both tubes and tires before you ride your bike again.  Remember you want to ride safely.

Not knowing the first thing about changing a flat out of fear or nervousness robs you of so much fun and much needed exercise.  You may ask, “Who wants to be stranded by the side of the road with an bike I can’t ride?”  Of course the answer is no one, which is why you need to learn how to handle this situation.  YOU CAN do this!

Fixing a flat is not as difficult as you might think, it simply takes knowing the basics and practice, as with any emergency situation being prepared is half the battle.  You can practice in the comfort of your own home with your bike.   Watch this video to learn how to change a flat tire.  Never again be that girl who doesn’t know how to change a flat on her bike!
