Pick yourself up from your bike’s seat. It will only help your tyre to get busted. So, stand up and act like a man. Stop moaning and start acting.

Dislocate your tyre from the rim and separate it completely from one side. It will help you to locate the tube. Once you have located the tube, your first milestone is achieved.

You have to push hard to take out the tube from the tyre but make sure that you don’t press hard enough which will damage the tube. It is already deflated and a bit of pressure on the damaged area can ruin it for you completely. So be careful.

Stand up and curse yourself after taking out the tube. Curse yourself for not bringing the patch kit with you. You have to do it so that you will not forget to keep the patch kit with you ever again. Curse for almost 3-4 minutes. It will help you ease out and the anger will also fizzle out in the meantime.
