Back when I was a sulky pre-teen and dinosaurs walked the earth my long suffering father insisted that I learn how to fix a flat before I was allowed to ride. This was back in the days when you needed two crescent wrenches to remove a wheel - and God help you if you used pliers.
So, yes, I do indeed know how to change a rear flat. What I don't understand is how I can get chain grease on my nose by simply thinking about the deed.
As for wrapping handlebars, I gave up on the tape thing and sewed leather covers onto my project bike's bars. No lumps, and they are lovely. Black too, so flipping him upside down is no problem.

Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.

Now you know why I don't work on anything with more than two wheels. There's something just wrong about 10W30 in your hair.
