I have been shown how to change bike tires..and keep on forgetting/maybe need to practice.

By the way, not all guys enjoy changing bike tires either. That includes my partner....and this is a guy who built his own farmhouse years ago and has a civil engineering degree.

Even going to a bike store run by someone who I personally know, still means I have to be firm with the store's bike mechanics. After all, they don't know me.

In a way, I almost don't expect a bike store to carry much cycling clothing that suits my personal taste/preferences. And I don't want to deal with customs brokerage fees/their possibility, if I order online from outside of Canada.

The value of YouTube and similar tools would help some people who were willing to learn but they were not immediately accessible to the bike store.
