Those quarter turn garmin units are so easy to take off and put back on. ;)
I still flip though about half the time...the other half I lay the bike
down on the side.
But I never lay the bike down on the drive side. I learned that after
having bent a derailer hangar.
On Tuesday,
If you want to lay the bike on the side, having a large saddlebag such
as I have on my Custom (Nelson Longflap) also helps because it seems
that the bike will balance itself on it's side between the bag, pedals
and handlebars holding it up. This approach works better on uneven
ground.
I'll flip my bike over any day and twice on Sunday. I just put
something under the saddle so it doesn't get scratched up.
That being said, many times on brevets someone just holds it while you
change the tire, I have done that recently for a fellow Rivendell
owner as well.

I was gonna say ask the child to hold up the bike while you change the
wheel. But, a child small enough to put in a seat on the bike is probably
unreliable as a maintenance assistant.

On an even lighter (and possibly less contentious) note than bike-flipping, I

An anecdote about *red* loctite: Once I foolishly red-loctited a Dura Ace
fixed cog onto an ENO hub. When I tried to take it off, I broke the chain
whip. I then put the cog, wrapped in chain, into a bench vise and used the
wheel as lever. I shattered the cog and slightly warped the hub's threads.
When a problem comes along you must flip it...flip it good..da Da Da da dunt
dun dun. Now flip good!
Devos's advice has always worked for me.
but all the other ideas seem good too, as long as the flat gets fixed...

A flipped bike can fall over if its windy or on an uneven surface,
potentially causing more damage. A bike lying on its non-drive side is
already on the ground.
