I had to do repairs on my Strida lots of times, but the Strida is a bit of an unusual beastie anyway, so some of the repairs I had to do are not quite as complicated as they are on a 'real' bike. At any rate I replaced a headset bearing once, the belt drive once, and the bottom bracket spindle and chainring (they call it a pulley!) at least twice, and of course flat tires now and then.
More recently I'm riding a more conventional bike... and I've had to do flat tires, gear adjustments, futzing with headlight/taillight wires, etc. lots of times.
