I wasn't far from home and called my hubby...even his 250# self struggled to get them off. That's what cell phones are for, IMO.

I have been lucky to not have a single flat while on my bike in nearly 5k miles of riding. *knocks on wood* I know I could change the front tire on my own...and the back. Like others, I have simply struggled to get the back tire back on and wish I had 3 hands.
