Normally, since I use toeclips on this bike, I pull the left foot out and let the pedal roll over just as I start up the driveway, then pull the right foot out, swing the leg over and stand on the left pedal for the last couple feet as the slope stops the bike. Then it's a gentle step off and walk the bike between the cars into the garage.

Seems I may have clenched my teeth too hard though; one that has been cracked for a while finished breaking off, got abscessed, and has been bugging the heck out of me all weekend. The swelling is going down with antibiotics, and it's finally to the point where the pain isn't as distracting as the side effects of hydrocodone, so I've ditched the painkillers for now. Guess I'll have to confront my phobia of dentists soon, though, as the regular docs can only do so much.
