Prelude to a Bike Ride in Albuquerque, New Mexico

I rode off on my bike and it was hard going.  My back tire is flat.  I offered to skip the
bike ride.

Dave and Kathy to the rescue!  They are avid cyclists with experience fixing flats.





The back tire is off & Eric
is inspecting the inner tube.

Kathy inspects the tire

for punctures.

Dave shows us the hole
next to the inner tube
stem,

Dave & Kathy brought a thorn

resistant inner tube with them,

& it will fit my rear tire.

Putting the back tire on
isn't easy...

Kathy holds the bike chain while

Dave & Eric tighten the nuts that

hold the wheel on,

After Eric filled the tire, I put the air compressor away while Dave, Kathy and Eric cleaned their greasy hands,    We are now ready to ride to Sportsmans Warehouse..
