Flipping a bike over makes it much harder and clumsier to remove the rear
wheel, which is the only wheel that is pertinent, since if it's the front
wheel, it's easy to figure out how to manage the bike without flipping it.
I can have a wheel out, and the tube out, before you can finish even
flipping the bike over and fiddling the wheel out the wrong direction.
Dropping a nice bike upside down onto its saddle and levers and bar
tape gives me chills and shakes. Yuck. I can almost always find a sign,
or a fence, or a branch to hook my saddle onto, or a bush to lean the
bike against. If none of the above, then I remove the wheel, and gently
lay the bike on its non-drive side. Upside down? Eww. Suitable for
Stingrays and eleven-year-olds, forty-six years ago.
