You shouldn't be riding a bike you can't pick up. |
THAT is something I want to learn today! I tried a couple of different angles and ways. I knew if I could get a turned over sailboat upright again, that I should also be able to do the bike! But I just couldn't get the leverage with any of the ways I tried. It seemed easier to own up to my dumb mistake and get his help, than to try to use some kind of rigged up lever, which would no doubt have damaged the bike further! Soo, I would really like to know how I could have managed it. I'm no little whimpy thing - I'm tall, and I work out, so I should be able to do it, of others can!
And thanks to all of you who shared your "drop stories". It made me feel a lot better, knowing I wasn't the only one!
