Is changing a rear tire on an internal gear hub a big deal?

I have a 2009 Electra Townie 3i with a 3 speed internal gear hub on the rear wheel. I need to change the rear tire, and I read somewhere that this is harder to do on bikes with internal gear hubs....

26 x 2.125 vs 26 x 2.00 Townie

This is kind of a fussy bike question. I recently bought a used bike I love, a 2009 Electra Townie 3i, with a three speed internal gear hup. I was all ready to buy a new one for $740 (after taxes)...

Solution for old sticky, gummy handlebar grips?

I just bought an old 2009 Electra Townie 3i, and I love it. A little rust here and there but generally in good shape with new tires and chain. The handlebar grips are sticky and feel kind of gummy...

Wow, I think I'm over thinking that my bike is too small for me. The bike mechanic suggested raising the seat 1 1/2 inch, and it felt like I could barely get on the damn thing. I have also since read...
