Find a way to keep the bike upright while bending down to unscrew the QR
nut.

Bike standing up. Flip lever open. Bike still leaning on axle. Unscrew
QR. Now lift bike up and remove front wheel in the same motion.

It's not the lawyer lips which get in the way on the tandem, it's the
front rack - I need to remove the QR to get the wheel past it easily :-)
