Exactly. I can barely do the tire thing, I just dislike doing this kind of stuff, and I am not good at it. No lectures about empowering my female mechanic, please. Those of you who know me know I'm no shrinking violet; I just suck at anything that requires fine motor or eye hand skill, a deficit I inherited from my dad. My mom could fix anything. I amaze myself that I can actually ride a bike... this is why when people write posts about having trouble starting, getting on, and stopping their bikes, I can totally empathize. I was one step above this. And frankly, although I am loathe to have DH do most other things for me, he sets up and maintains all mechanical things for me. He's good at it and I can barely button my coat and tie my shoes.
However, I would not be so bold as to ask a shop owner to come to my house to get the bike off of the trainer. Like, why would anyone expect that kind of service? I would ask/find a friend to do it or show me. And by the way, I can't get my bike on the trainer. You have to hold the wheel, position it right, and do some lever thing all at the same time, which proved impossible for me to accomplish. In fact, I wrenched my back out trying a couple of years ago. I can get it off, though.
With so many knowledgable women cyclists, why does this pattern of treating us like sh*t still continue? Probably the best thing I ever did was write about my crappy experiences with my Kuota on TE. I get treated much better now .
