Or save yourself the money and tuck your laces into your boots. It works. I've never once got my tucked in laces tangled in any part of the bike.
A dog had his chain reduced one link at a time, every few days, until his chain was so short he could barely move. He never resisted because he was conditioned to the loss of his freedom slowly, over time. Are we in this country becoming like the dog?

+1 to that. I will sometimes get lazy and think about just tying them up and leaving them hanging there, but I just imagine the possibility of my laces getting stuck on something while I'm riding and I take the extra 2 seconds to tuck them into the boot.

I have almost done the same thing with my Vulcan, my jeans cuffs have sometimes gotten caught on the foot pegs..kinda throws you for a loop when you know your foot should go further down and it wont...

after a few more drops... you won't even care.
anyway... im only 130lbs and picking up a bike the weighs 3x as me is not easy. i can do it... but not easy.
If can pick my KZ up with one leg free and one twisted up under the bike then you should be able to lift your bike pretty easily. While we're on this ratio's thing my bike is 525lbs and I'm 150 so my ratio is 3.5:1 easily outstripping your measly 2.9:1. Maybe you should listen to the working out advice .
