I got myself in a pickle today. got into a place where I couldn't reverse cos i would be reversing up hill.... took me good 5 minutes to manoeuvre into a parking position. hope no one was looking

Anyway I don't think Agy would hit a cripple.

You DID get off and push instead of trying to paddle it didn't you?

And therein lies another art, the art of spinning the bike around on its sidestand, prevents much huffing and puffing and feeling irritated

I was going to but as it was quite uneven I had a wobbly moment as I was taking my leg over and nearly dropped it so I put my leg back over and in little steps and lots of sweat turned it the other way round... ufff
I guess it still takes me by surprise sometimes. I forget what it weighs

Spinning the bike on its stand??? yeah i saw the bike mechanic do that! I wondered about it! how???? everywhere i seem to go there are fecking hills so whichever way i park/try to get out, i need to reverse up hill which brings tears of terror to my eyes. nothing worse than being stuck and unable to move. so embarrassing!!!

There is very rarely a need for that, think about it before you park it...

Move to Norfolk?

Spinning the bike on the stand isn't difficult once you get the hang of it but like YC says, you can often avoid it by a bit of forward planning.
