So I'm getting into bike riding pretty heavily these days. I changed my first flat since I was 12 years old tonight! I'm pretty sure I didn't put any holes in this one. I do rememeber one summer day where i bought 4 tubes in a row to fix my back tire on my ghetto BMX knock off. I kept popping it with my rushed work. I got more and more frustrated and popped them everytime i put them on. I think I finally bought the last one and started to cry a bit. It helped me calm down and focus. Only to fix the flat and leave the bike at a park the next day unattended. It got stolen.

Why would I leave it unattended? Because one of my friends found a Penthouse magazine. This was pre -interent porn my friends. Those were the days where you forgot all about mom's fried chicken diner and dumped everything just to see some bush.

If you're looking for a cheap flat fix head over to NYC Bikes on Havemeyer and South 1st in Williamsburg. Those guys are cheap and quick: $10 for a flat fix including the tube. They back up thier work (replaced a faulty tube for free, no questions asked). Know what they're talking about and seem to go the extra mile everytime.
