I don't have a garage or even a drive so any routine maintenance takes place on the street outside my house. I have a 'roller plate thingy' that I can roll my back wheel under which will let me turn the back wheel but with lumpy tyres it doesn't roll so well. While I reckon it's highly unlikely I do worry that the juddery rolling of the wheel might knock bike off side stand (and onto me).
Normally I would just slip the wheel round by hand or tip the bike over on the sidestand so the rear wheel can freewheel. I know neither is considered good practice but works OK or use a supermarket/IKEA car park for maintenance? We changed all 4 shocks in a supermarket carpark once when didn't have anywhere to work.
