Changing a flat with no hands?

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'm going to remember this the next time I'm feeling sorry for myself.

And he does it properly - checking the inside and outside of the tyre for damage and foreign objects.

Yep, I teared up a little watching the video.

A reminder that 'feeling sorry for oneself' is unacceptable in the scheme of things. Just get on with life.

Wow how in the world did he unwrap the tire especially if it's tight on the rim and buckle his helmet?!
