#18 -- Be Prepared to "Re-Tire!"

[At some point in time, you'll experience a flat.  IT WILL HAPPEN!  And when it does, be prepared!  Carry the necessary tools.  A pump, tire lever, and patch kit.  We recommend a CO2 pump (with extra CO2 cartridges).  We also recommend carrying an extra tube.  Sometimes a patch kit just isn't enough.  Practice at home first.  If you're in need of formal instruction, visit your local bike shop.  Many offer sessions specific to bike maintenance and repair.  REI for example, offers classes free of charge.  The main point here friends: cycling is a job.  You have responsibilities.  You need to learn the ropes!  Then...when the time comes, you'll be prepared to "re-tire!"]
