Remove the valve stem, then remove the tire on one side of rim. If it's a tube type, then remove the tube and pump in air to the tube find leak. Use a tire patch kit to fix the hole and check the tire to see if somthing is sticking through it. If so remove it, reinstall the tube, replace the tire side back on to the rim, put the valve stem back in, and then pump it up.

If not the tube type, replace valve stem, pump in air to find the leak, and use a rod type seal for tubless type tires.
One of the easiest ways to fix a flat tire is to patch the tire. You can get patches at any auto parts store. Remove wheel from bike

Remove tube from tire

Inflate tube

Submerge tube in water, look for bubbles.

Once leak is located remove tube from water, dry area where the hole is. Scuff tube for an area around the hole, about the size of a keyring. Apply a rubber glue called solution, allow to dry almost through. When no longer sticky to touch, apply repair patch. Press hard for awhile. Reinstall, reinflate, ride.
