I will then move to the rear of the bike and she gets on the front to make sure the fork stays in line while I pivot the rear to roof. I step on the running board and lift the rear wheel onto the runner. It is really pretty easy to do. Believe me, she would let me know it it was difficult. I am 6 ft. and she 5'4".
There is a strap that holds the fork straight that came with mine so she doesn't have to assist at the front also.
