Changing My Bike Tube
Getting a flat tire is something that every rider or driver really hates especially if they are away from any workshop or if they are in a hurry. Sometimes getting a flat tire during high-speed travel can result in a catastrophic accident.
That was what happened to me sometime ago on my way to my parent's house. It was raining and I could feel the bike movement was not so smooth. I had to stop a few times to check the bike tire, yet it was still good, at first I thought I was because it needs more air pressure.
Not until a few Kilometers away from the first time I feel a bad movement on my bike then the tire finally give it away, it was a bit hard to control and I need to slowed down my bike.
I kept on riding it, because I remember the nearby workshop to fix the tire, moreover it was raining, so I decided to just keep on going rather than pushing my bike under the rain because my weight definitely give more pressure on the already damaged tire.
I had to wait a bit as when I arrived at the workshop because the owner and the technician is still fixing another bike. Well at least it is getting fixed, I am happy to just sit and wait rather than pushing my bike in the rain. :)
It is a blurred photos of the wife and the kids of the technicians. Actually, the lady is the one changing my tube.
That is what happens to my tube, the actual hole is not that big, but its the trick from the lady to show that my tube is already thin and it needs to be changed.
The kid is helping his parents to clean up the mess, and also collecting the equipment used. he is such a good boy, smile at me a few time, and is shy when I want to take his picture.
It cost me around $5 to change the tube. This is the standard price for a new tube plus the service fee to change the tube around here.

It's a new sight for me to see a woman change your tubes, it really shows that everyone can do everything. Great to see that kid trying to help out, really gives him an early lesson about life in helping others in chores.
I was also surprised to see the lady changing my tire, hardly seeing any woman be a mechanic before.
I really do hope that the kids will be successful in the future,
So touching when I see her kid was helping his mom to change your tube Brow @ekavieka.
I believed he will be success boy in the future.

yes I am also thinking the same way. Hope he will stay diligent and hard-working till he gowns up.
