How to Fix a Flat Bike Tire

Yep Folks....I took a class tonight on how to fix a flat bike tire and it was probably the most productive 2 hours (learning wise) I have had in a long time. The teacher was great and totally informative. It was hands on...as I type my hands are all black from grease....and there were only two students...can't beat that for students to teacher ratio...and it was free...for sure Trophy Bikes (my favorite bike shop in Philly) has earned my business in the future.

He also gave me some great advice for getting my bike ready for touring next summer...oh yes if you haven't heard I am almost 90% positive I will be riding across the US next summer with Venture, a non-profit my friend Aaron Smith from North Central University started.

All in all it was an evening well spent and I am ready if my tires should ever go flat.....

The Venture expeditions look neat, Mar. I'm impressed, except for the one page: http://www.ventureexpeditions.org/OURnbspTEAMS/MississippiRiverCanoeTour/tabid/176/Default.aspx Best part of the Mississippi, my butt. OK, I'll stop being insulted now by random web writer and go back to work.
