Stephen Colbert changes an inner tube on his bike.
I really miss watching the Late Show but keep amused by watching Stephen's daily videos on YouTube. In this latest episode he does a bit of work on his bike.

He made it look easier than when I fix a flat and have done it many many times much more recent than 13.

What did I learn when I was 13? That girls were hot and I lost the ability to speak to them coherently.

I was cringing as I watched it, between the screwdriver and then he slides the handlebars on the concrete. YIKES!

I knew it was going to be painful watching it because he already had the bike propped upside-down. From that starting point, there's noplace to sink lower.

Not one of my favorite guys. Not funny and I'll shut up for now. But, if he's fixing his own bikes and riding, I'll give that guy a pass

I haven't used a screwdriver for tire dismounts since I was a kid many decades ago; however I am still riding around with tubes with multiple patches.

He may have only inadvertently done it, but I noticed he did actually get the tire label on the opposite side of the wheel from the valve stem. The velominati would approve.
I did cringe a bit when he was wrapping the inner tube around the rim without the tire already half on. I noticed they cut to the next clip and he had the tire half on this time, so somewhere in between he realized that wasn't going to work, LOL.
