Bicycle Front

My front bicycle tire went flat over the weekend and i need it to get to classes, help?

there is no air in it, it is as flat as a pancake and I believe the seal on the tire is broken. Do they sell new tires at walmart

Get yourself an inner-tube and a set of tyre (tire - USA spelling) levers.
Patches work but tubes are so cheap these days I just throw the old tube away rather than spend time looking for the air bubbles in the kitchen sink.

On the side of the tyre you will see the size marked, 26 inch is the most common size on an adult bike, width is less important but there are different widths of inner-tube for road bikes and mountain bikes (MTB's obviously need bigger tubes).

There are dozens of guides on the internet on how to change a tyre and it should be pretty easy to change the front (the rear is a little more awkward because of the chain).

You can use spoons to lever-off the tyres but proper tyre levers are very cheap and make the job SO much easier!

Deflate the tyre, remove the wheel, lever off the tyre (easy to take off), remove the old tube, insert the new one NEATLY - you don't want it to get pinched between the tyre and the rim when you inflate it.

I usually inflate the tube slightly to make it easier to fit.

If you've never changed an inner tube before it will take about 2 hours or so but after you've done it once you'll be able to do it in 30 minutes next time.
