Getting a flat bicycle tire seems to happen all too often. When it does happen, you don’t need to bring your bike to a shop. You can do it yourself at a fraction of the cost. Here, I show you How To Fix A Bicycle Tire Inner Tube in my video.
Option 1, patch a hole puncture on the tube with Park Tool Patch Kit, and Option 2, replace the old tube with a new tube. I use the Crank Brothers Speedier Lever tool to remove the tube from the rim and reapply the tube back onto the rim.
Plus, as a bonus, let us take a short ride on the Monterey Coastal Recreation Trail to view the California sunset.

video: yakima fork chop review / hot pick: erie canal bike path
February 6, 2021
This is a 2-for-1 video for those who like to go bicycling, including a test of the Yakima Fork Chop accessory, and my hot pick of a bike path on the Erie Canal. The Fork Chop is a simple attachment for carrying a bicycle on your Yakima car rack. If you like multi-day bike rides, then the 350-mile long Erie Canal Bikeway is for you, and I give you a sampler of the Mohawk-Hudson section near Schenectady, New York.
Also, in this video, I take a closer look at the amazing Dam & Lock system on the Mohawk River, and I try a little quick fishing.

video: gopro camera test for biking (to cherry blossoms)
April 12, 2020
Ever wonder how surfers, snowboarders or sky divers capture amazing close-up footage of their stunts? Well, they can’t carry a heavy DSLR camera while they are doing tricks. Enter the little camera, GoPro Hero 8 Black (boy, that’s a mouthful for a small device), that packs a punch. It is so small that it can be attached to a helmet or a chest harness.
In my video, I try out the cam while riding a bicycle, attaching it to the handlebars and then a selfie stick. I test out its features and HD video quality. The image stabilization is simply amazing, considering how much shaking is going on while I am cycling. Check out my video review!
Please note: I feature wildlife shots, such as birds, in the video which were not taken with the GoPro but rather with my Panasonic camcorder, which has a strong zoom lens.
I hope to do more gear review videos in the future. Let me know if you think I did a good job :)
What would you use the GoPro cam for?

Are you planning to visit Yosemite National Park? I have been there several times, thanks to my Dad. And I share what to do in the beautiful park, even if you only have one day to spare. In this video, I bike around Yosemite Village and in the scenic majestic valley, giving you a sampler of what Yosemite has to offer. Enjoy!

biking: new york city’s summer streets
October 26, 2008
New York City is becoming more bike friendly with events like Summer Streets, three Saturdays in August when the streets are car-free for bikers, rollerbladers and walkers. The route follows Park Avenue, beginning from 72nd Street and ending all the way downtown at the Brooklyn Bridge. For bikers, it feels like a dream to see the city absent of cars.
