My back tire went flat on the way to church, so I changed out the tube. Then, at the church my front tire went flat. The tire would not air up, and I was very worried. I prayed to Jesus for help. I noticed the head on my air pump was loose,so I tightened it and got it working again. The tube had a very tiny hole, so I had to used the sink in the Church to find it. After I patched it, I put it back on and I aired it up . But I did not seat the tire properly on the rim, and the tube poked out the side. I could not deflate the tube because the valve pinched itself against the rim. I had to force it, but I managed to get the tube deflated. Everything kept going wrong, and I thought I might have to call for help. I finally got the tire fixed. After that, I went to the bike shop ( I had to pedal up Quinton heights hill!) and I bought two inner tubes and a patch kit. I told them that the front bearings are lose, but the mechanic tightened the quick release and fixed it. The 104 degree temperature did not help either! I was so glad when I got home. I need to start a "STEVE'S FLAT TIRE BLOG."
