Time and a place lads

[benb]

I wish I could pull wheelies, but come on, that's not the best time or place to do it.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Seems fine to me.

 

[ianrauk]

Wish I could do that.

 

[Hip Priest]

Wish I could do that.

Me too. I cycle thousands of miles every year, but regularly see local lads doing things I can't do, like going round corners no-handed whilst smoking a tab.

I saw a young lad pull a wheelie down a fairly steep hill.

He kept the front wheel at about the same angle for 50m or so.

Impressive bike control.

An essential skill for impressing girls on the estate I grew up on.
Closely followed by kicking a football at us when we were standing in groups minding our own business or strutting past and burping REALLY loudly!

I still can't wheelie I think I'm too heavy, when I get the new s works I'll give it a go again, although I've been riding no handed on all the tracks for the past week or so for miles at a time since the spare bike is abit small and cramps my back it's surprisingly easy

 

[Beebo]

I agree with Ben, it was a silly thing to do at a t junction on the wrong side of the road.

 

[jack smith]

It is rediculous btw could of easily been wiped out

It's a junction, and it only takes one car to kill you.

Pulling a 50 m wheelie on a Boris bike, now that it's impressive .
Seen it done once down the Lower Road in Rotherhythe

 

[jack smith]

The next road bike party needs to be done on a Boris bike, not a lightweight colnago or dogma!

Same here, I've cycled thousand of miles over forty plus years of cycling and I've never got round to mastering wheelies or riding no handed.

 

[Kies]

No hands is fairly easy - learnt as a yoof and it came back to me straight away. Never mastered wheelies back then ..... And now? Well i would plain stupid trying ;-)

I'll just call it Darwinism.
