Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, and do whatever you want all the time, you could miss it.

While at your lbs, see if you can get someone there to show you how. Bike mechanics have great tricks that will make it much easier and faster. My guy showed me exactly how to hold the wheel, and where to start pushing, how much air to put in the tube, and a bunch of other little things that make changing a tire less stressful.
