Default I wish I was a little bit taller.....

Damnit! I can't park my bike at my apartment because of my parking spot!

The spot is on a hill and it's fine to pull into, but as I was backing out tonight (first time!), I almost dropped my bike 3 times!

The problem is as I back out over the area from the sidewalk to the road, the elevation changes so that I'm not even touching the ground.

Damnit! I wish I was a little bit taller!

In those instances, I'll stand beside the bike and walk it where I need to, then hop on. Much easier than taking the chance of dropping my bikes.

I don't think I could've walked it down either.

These damn hills. So many people strugle with them and I struggle to understand what there is to struggle about.

I hope you figure something out Kel!

How would you do it?

I'm going to park it at my parent's place for now and that's not a huge deal.

No other options for parking at your apartment? The parent's house sounds like a good move though.

My apartment is in a house that's been converted to apartments. Some people park out back but my spot is out front. I'll take pictures one of these days. I haven't had a look out back so I"m going to see if I can't squeeze my bike in there somewhere.
