The guy In the white line wheelie, was actually pretty good. Wrong place granted, but still pretty cool. Wheelies were the one thing I struggled to do for any length in my 'chav' BMX-ing days.

I can't do wheelies 
I could when I was 12 but not not. Not sure if the skill just left me when I was a kid or I got a bit too sensible.
Kids doing wheelies up the wrong side of the road does concern me though, I just don't want to to see them splattered to strawberry jam outside my front door.

Choppers with the gear lever on the crossbar? Could be very nasty, excuse me while I cross my legs.

I saw a young lad pull a long, steady wheelie down a steepish hill.
Impressive bike control.

i've seen teen chavs on heavy clunkers going about 15mph no handed whilst smoking a fag and texting; often wondered that maybe if they can do that, what could they do on the road/track with the right coaching...

I could do wheelies on motorbikes right up until the end of 1999 when I stopped riding them after getting splattered by someone overtaking rather too closely and not actually overtaking.It takes me to stay upright on the bike, never mind pull a wheelie

I typed that, then deleted at least 3 times today. I thought it was just me who had thought it. A few other threads have been ageist recently too. It's getting boring now.

There's a Rastafarian guy famous in the Moseley area of Birmingham, who rides his one wheeled bike (not to be confused with a unicycle here) everywhere he goes around the city up on his back wheel with his front wheel missing
