My front tire on my bicycle is kinda wobly. Like shakes from left to right when I ride it. It is loose to touch. How can I tighten this so it doesn't shake when I ride it?
 
i would say take it to a bike shop, for 5 to 10 dollars they will do it, however if that is not a option, then get two cresant wrenches and position the tire between ur legs and tighten the two nuts in center of front tire, they tighten in oppisite direstions, for added safety, i would use a socket wrench, u need two, one for each side,tighten both at the same time,
 
You need to adjust the cones on the axles, you may need cone wrenches to do it.
