You simply roll for a great day when ensoileillée PAF! You have an accident or a fool you get into it and you pick up a bicycle wheel-shaped macaroni. You're away from home, no bike shop in sight and if you do not need ambulance transport, you're fucked up to walk home with your bike on the back ... MISTAKE!
There is a way to get to the house by pedaling slowly, but still pedaling. At this point, you have nothing to lose. The rim and possibly the shelves of your wheel will be replaced anyway.
Place the wheel on a hard surface. Place both feet on the high surfaces of the wheel. Jump on the wheel firmly and it should be in decent shape. Repeat if necessary. Despite the fact that this wheel is not in the best conditons, it is now usable.
Note that the wheel has not shown tire. You can do this maneuver with
tire on the wheel and even the wheel on the bike. Beware of scratches in the latter case.
Remember, the wheel is now completely débalancée and this is not the time to do a Greg Lemond downhill in the Alps. You'll definitely beat you up if you do that! Take your time and use caution when you return home. At the next
