It is a lot more difficult in the real world. When it down on a down slope angle on a a down hill level. I mean. Like you are going up and sideways at the same time. Laid out flat. Lets see your 100 pound honey pick that 950 pound bike up .Bull ****ing **** of that happening in the real world. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble, like the Chinese balloon.

Obviously, there are times, when due to your specific location, all of the best lifting techniques just won't work. There are even some situations where a lifting "device" won't work. In those unique (and hopefully few) situations, you might just make yourself comfortable and wait for some additional help. There just isn't a perfect solution in every case.

I have a simple technique for lifting my bike if I can't by myself. Take a calm breath, look around, and ask for help...
