In Uganda my bike often gets a puncture in the tires. This is how we fix it. First we take the tire off and remove the tube inside. Then we pump up the tube with air and turn it slowly around until we hear the air coming out. Then we put some adhesive glue on the puncture and then we stick a patch on it. Then we pump it with air again and put the tube back on the tire and the tire back on the bike. The last time I had a puncture there was a big thorn in the tire.
glad your bike is fixed and you are biking again, I see bare feet don't get a thorn in your foot .Aunt Mary Ann
