Knowing how to fix a flat tire is probably the most useful skill a beginner mechanic should master. It’s certainly the skill I’ve used the most while riding. Whether you’re commuting to work, going on overnight bikepacking trips, or simply out for an hour-long ride, being confident in your ability to fix a flat is a game-changer.

The two bike tours my partner and I did in New Zealand are two of my top adventures of all time. Bike trips are just so fun - pedal all day through amazing landscapes, eat whatever you want, and wake up and do it all over again! I love it.

Commuting by bicycle is one of my favorite parts of my weekly routine. Check out my tips for an easy and successful commute!
