Ugh. Before I got ‘biek’, I remember having to change a tube on a Dutch bike (coaster brake, kick stand, chainguard) and it seemed like the entire back of the bloody thing had to be taken apart to do that one small operation.
Learned a lot that day.

I think you don't change the tube, you pull it out, patch it and shove it back in, then replace it at home or get a bike mechanic to do it at a more convenient time, eg about twenty years after the original puncture when the tube is more patch than rubber.
