Thank you everyone for the advice!! I commuted a total of 36'ish miles this week! Not too bad for the first week. I'm a little restricted because of the rain (yes it's actually raining in so-cal) Also, I ended up buying a tube and a kit in case of any emergency. Although, nobody mentioned to buy a helmet!! lol jk I bought a new bern brentwood helmet on ebay for $30!
Anyways i'm so hyped up about commuting and riding that my wife wants to join me on the weekends. I ended up buying her a sea breeze cruiser. She is not crazy about mountain or road bikes. I'm trying to figure out how to tune it up - but that is another thread! (https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...wife-a-cruiser)

I did see. You're new here, you'll pick up on personalities in time. An advanced lesson is that I am basically an opinionated, sarcastic smartass.
Toobs are easy!! There's plenty of learning stuff:
Old school learning method.
New school learning method.
I didn't go through the videos to pick the best, I just picked one--other's should show up in a list. Bookmark the Park Tool repair page, it has good instruction for everything about your bike.
There's only four things to remember about fixing tubes:
1. Pedro's tire levers
2. Rema patch kits
3. Road Morph Pump
4. Levers take tires off, thumbs put tires on.
There's tons of threads about tires, tubes, pumps vs. CO, levers and brands every section of BF.

Thanks!! After watching a few youtube videos it seems a lot easier than I thought!!
