Balancing on a bike for around 15 seconds

[Vapin' Joe]

On a fixed wheel (Fixie - pah!) I could do it for ages. These days I have trouble balancing while the bikes moving

 

[Supersuperleeds]

all riding both commuting and leisure riding
and i have been busy recently thus explaining the lack of miles

Get yourself on mycyclinglog or veloviewer (links with Strava), you don't need to manually update your sig all the time then.

My bike has been perfectly balanced against a balcony railing in Belgrade for the past five days.

Impressive! I'm pretty sure if I ever tried to do a track-stand I would quickly end up doing an impression of Del Boy falling through that bar hatch

 

[vernon]

but were you on it, Vern?

Nope but I've been on my plum napalm and absinthe for four days and my balance has been adversely affected.

is your 1,130 for commuting, leisure or both?

'Running', as in on 2-legs (a mixture of commuting, leisure, training & racing)

I had a club mate who could do it, no movement, and geared. I can actually 'track stand' better on my geared bikes. I can't be bothered most of the time as I commute on fixed, it's actually quicker to set off if you can put your full weight into the first revolution, and then click in. Riding off from a track stand has granny acceleration ! Sooo sloooooowwwww

I have tried for years to track stand, since a child in fact, but I cannot do it. Totally hopeless! I am always in awe of those who can.

I'm quite good at riding very very slow for hours and hours.

Does that count?

 

[I like Skol]

Can stop perceivably dead still for several minutes of I have a slight slope rising to my right (for some reason far better this way but struggle if the rise is to the left) Eventually my calves start to ache so I start doing little sidewards hops instead to try and get the blood flowing.

Now you are showing off

I tried a track stand today, I reckon it lasted 0.15 seconds.

I can do it but don't always. If I know it is going to be for a stop of a few seconds then fine, but if it is going to be a couple of minutes then I would rather unclip.
