Please teach me how to change a tire

I plan on starting to commute next week. I need to pick up a couple of tubes, I have tire irons and inflator. How do I change a tire? Thanks

I know how to do it - but I'm not sure I can explain how to do it:o:o

And practice this weekend. Sit in your living room with a good movie on and change it over and over and over. You will feel confident if you do have to use the skills. :D

Also make sure you know how to get the wheel in and out, 'specially the back.

And carry those pre-packed hand wipes.

How do you remove the back wheel?
