How To Change a Flat Tire

Are you prepared to change a flat? If you said no, then you should probably expect a long walk home at some point. Getting a flat tire on a ride is a matter of “if” not “when”. Even the most conscientious of cyclists get a flat once in awhile. It’s easy to prepare. Start by purchasing a saddle bag large enough for a new tube, a set of levers and means to inflate the tube. If you are not sure what size or type of tube to purchase, ask your local bike shop for assistance.
