First Flat...

Well, finally the inevitable happened.
Yesterday I rode across town, and just as I was reaching my destination, I discovered my rear tire was almost completely deflated.  I was pretty bummed.  I didn't want to fix a flat tire!  
Thankfully it was very easy to find the puncture...a wire had gone through the tire and into the tube.  
I took the wheel off, unnecessarily, to fix it.  The hole in the tube was quite obvious, so I didn't have to do anything fancy or complicated...
After patching I pumped it up and two hours later rode home.  Today the tire is still as firm as when I inflated it yesterday!  
Hurray!  I can successfully fix flat tires!!!
