Monday I mentioned at lunch that I wanted Pete to show me how to change a flat. Lisa and a couple other girls jumped and told me not to touch the tubes, Pete would change it for me just fine and I was not to touch the tires. BUT I felt like I needed to know that if I was all alone, I could change a flat. So, tonight Pete and I changed the tubes on my shiny, new Madone since I had a leak in Fredericksburg.
He did the front wheel and then watched me do the rear. I got frustrated trying to get the wheel back in, but I decided I knew what I was doing and let him get the wheel back in. It was a slow process and I lacked some hand strength to get the tire completely off, but in need, I know I could eventually get it off, changed, and back on the bike. I feel empowered, but now know that I need to find a CO2 inflator that works for me and add it to my underseat bag.
