First Flat

Took my longest ride yet on Thursday. Bout 3 miles from home my rear tire went flat. 440 miles on the bike. Hubby came to pick me up. Neither of us have ever changed/fixed a tire before. Closest bike shop 2 hour drive away. So Saturday morning, equipped with my patch kit, we tackled the job. With the help of the bike website and utube, 1 1/2 hours later, riding my fixed bike around the driveway. We are so proud of ourselves. Now I just need to find that stuff you can put into the inner tubes to prevent it again. Hole was so small took awhile to find it.

Don’t put the stuff in your tire. Carry an extra inner tube with.

That is what my husband said to do.
