Is there any way a person can straighten a bicycle wheel without specialized equipment?

Tony S asked:


It is the rear wheel on a 15 speed mountain bike and it appears to be about 3/8 of an inch out of true in about 20° of arc around the wheel. I am using the amount of shift in the brake caliper to judge the amount of bend in the wheel. Yes I am trying to not spend an arm and a leg as I am limited on funds

Is there a safe way to ride my bike with my dog?

Nyssa ? Cuppycake Yum Yum ? asked:

I think it would be really fun to ride my bike (slowly!) with my doggy jogging beside me… he loves to be walked, and to run while he’s being walked, and I love to bike ride. But, I’m scared he will jump up to grab at his leash and get hurt, or get caught in a wheel. Are dogs generally good when you walk them while riding a bike?? Or is there a safety device I can get?
