scrape the spot where the hole is lightly with some sandpaper. Get yourself a rubber patch just big enough to cover the hole and apply some rubber cement to the patch. Also apply some rubber cement to the spot you sanded on the tube. When the glue on both is tacky to the touch, put the patch on the tube. Lay the tube flat on a table and set something heavy ontop of the patch and let it sit for the cement to cure. The directions on the rubber cement will tell you how long that should take. If you can, leave it overnight before reassembling your tire.

Actually, I haven't had a flat recently. You should try to determine why you're getting the flats (nails, glass, bad rim, etc). If you're tired of flats, you can get those thick tubes that don't need inflation and don't get flat. I don't know how they ride, but they don't go flat. I'd expect that if I had a flat, It'd take me a while to change it (probably 10-20 minutes). Although, it would actually take me longer because I'd have to go get supplies to fix it. I should probably carry an extra tube and changing supplies just to be safe.

After tire is removed just buy a new tube. Other thtn that you can buy a patch kit. cost about 10 to 15 bucks. Follow instructions.
