I'm done
Last month I bought a bike. I was so excited about it. I love to bike. Whenever I am home in the summer my mom and I go on long bike trips. But, the bike had a few problems. Mostly, it just needed new inner tubes. I thought, easy enough, I can do that. But first, I had to borrow a wrench from my sister to get the wheels off, then I had the get the tire off the wheel which is more difficult than maybe expected. Once I did that I put a tube on to find out it was the wrong size. I exchanged for the right size, and put on the tubes, which is also more difficult that I would have thought. I then finally blew up the tires, only to find out that one of the tires is still flat. I don't know what the problem is, but I am done. I am so sick of that bike!

How dissapointing!
bummer! Maybe we'll find a you a decent bike somewhere else. well, i guess you know all about bikes now!
Oh no! I am so sorry!
Check the inside of the rim to see if one of the spokes are popping through and putting a hole in the tube. Otherwise the valve stem on the tube is faulty and if that is the case you can get an exchange. If you have a spoke popping through the rim you can put a barrier such as electrical tape, cardboard or anything that the spoke will not go through. Other than that, call you Home Teacher. Good Luck
