Love the cargo bike, but it is a fucking pain in the arse to wrestle it into a place where it can be maintained. Current solution is to bounce the wheel that doesn't need to come off up the garage step to get some height and then clamp the seatpost with the repair stand. Then I can winch the other end of the bike off the ground using a bit of rope looped over a hook on the garage ceiling and down to go either through the top tube or the rear rack. That gives me about a foot of clearance to get the wheel off and doesn't appear to run the risk of the whole thing toppling over sideways and killing me. There is a lot of swearing involved. Is there a better way? Probably, but I don't know it yet.
