A quick, very creative, "no-tools" way of dealing with flat bike tires. HOWEVER, you left out one important step. Begin with marking the location of the tube stem on the tire (in case the tire moves on the rim in the process of removing the tube).Then after locating the hole in the tube, find that same location on the tire and carefully reach into the inside of the tire with your finger to find the nail, thorn or glass that caused the flat in the first place. Remove that offending sharp object and continue with your tire repair as described. If you do not remove the cause of the flat, it may re-occur with your temporary patch OR when you put in a new tube. I learned this the hard way.....
