Wheelies - Who can do them ?

[highlandsflyer]

Last time I did one, on a road bike, was accidental, and I smashed my chainring on a kerb. Manuals are a very useful skill, so there is a good reason to practice.

With Jane Thomas and her mates looking on, pretending not to notice. Sure helped.
..somehow I don't think many of the 50+ yr old women I know would be very impressed

I have a ‘pump track’ most evenings.


I (unsuccessfully) blame the dogs.

I had a grifter and a body like a pipe cleaner so there was no way I was getting that front wheel in the air other than the split millisecond when I bunny'd the big bugger off a kerb

Never really learned the knack as a kid and then growing older meant courage was lacking, now at 57 Id probably shatter something important and the wife would kill my ghost with extreme prejudice.

Just going to leave this here. I couldn’t find the video where she wheelies through town.

Learned to do them on a Grifter, then forgot; thought I’d better relearn on my adult MTB - scuffed up the mudguards….

(I have however passed on the importance of being able to wheelie to my boys who are proficient.)
