Learned new stuff, now how to apply it

[lph]

Wheel the bike under a tree or porch roof, toss a rope over a branch/rafter/what-have-you and tie it through the saddle* so that the rear wheel is suspended off the ground Poor man's bike rack.

* don't just put the loop under the saddle, the bike will swing around a bit when you start pedalling and can fall off.

Or you may be lucky and find a fence or improvise something with a horisontal bar at the right height to hoist the rear of the saddle onto, and space underneath for the rest. Less swinging about.

Somewhere, I have a great picture of myself wrenching while on a century ride. My bike is hanging by the saddle nose from the hanging sign of a state park. Proof that you can make anything into a workstand!
