I remember almost dropping my ancient kawasaki in town when standing over it, and my my foot slipped a bit and I was just off balance enough that i couldn't pull it upright. I managed to hold it in place so it didn't knock over the other bikes parked next to it (in comical domino style) but i had no strength to lift it upright. Luckily a big guy was walking past at just the right moment and grabbed the handles at the back and lifted it. Mega cold sweats though just from thinking about it!
I have never done this....Never dropped a bike turning right at a traffic light and was pinned under the bike. There were school kids walking past laughing at me. Two old ladies had to lift the bike off me.
