There was a guy I used to see around Brixton who would track stand (in the saddle) no handed. That needs some mad skillz...

What do I need to do to obtain the full visual effect, in order to make sense of this post?

All I see is a huge blank area in the post.

Thanks.

Get work to allow you access to You Tube, probably.

Don't think this is a fixie- his pedals pause slightly as he nears the lights at the second stop.

Bit clever though. Git.

I saw someone doing an absolutely excellent track stand yesterday - he ended up telling me I had my wheel pointing the wrong direction when I was trying ... so I need to do some more practise and see if his tip helps.

Oh right. That's not happening. I'll just have to imagine it. (Description might be nice)...

Fella on bike, trackstanding.. twice

First time, over the line at a red light, so he get's disqualified!

benb: so, did you get his phone number? Because you obviously looooove him

No, I couldn't catch up to him, gutted. Maybe next time!

Yeah, you're right, hadn't noticed that. Even more impressive.

Myself and Ianrauk saw a guy trackstanding as we cycled back from Brighton. Kudos to him because he was doing it on a geared bike. He didn't beat us off the lights though.

It's not that hard.. i can do it on my geared bike with a carradice bag hanging from my saddle.
I get impressed when i start seeing people doing it no handed, one footed etc... which i have seen on the streets of london.

...it is for me! Mabybe like most skills, all it requires is time, patience and practice, practice, practice.
