Remembering how to change a tire

Two days ago, I experienced a flat while riding my bike.

As I was stopped by the side of the road, I did my very best to remove the rear wheel, take of the tire as well as the tube and put the whole package back together.

All along, the operation wasn’t smooth and was rather an unmitigated struggle. Sure, I had not experienced a flat for at least two years and didn’t remember how to efficiently proceed.

Clearly, I should regularly refresh my memory by watching a video on the subject prior to riding season, but that’s a lot easier to remember when it's too late and I am up against the challenge.

As always, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
