When things go wrong…you lose you footing and the bike falls over

No matter how good you think you are, or how careful you are, it is just a matter of time before you have to pick up a fallen bike. The first time I had to was on a road trip (this means a well loaded bike) when I was trying to get the bike off the center stand in a gas station parking lot that had some gravel on top of the asphalt. As the bike came off the center stand, I lost my footing. With the help of my dad, we were able to right the bike.But you don’t always have the luxury of picking up the bike with the help of others. I found this video a while back, and I have had need to use it when I forgot to put down the kickstand…it really works as easy as it looks in the video.
