Wheelies - Who can do them ?

Re:

Built a wheelie bike hack over the summer to practice on, managed about 10 metres max so far!
Perhaps the darker evenings will now help as the kids won't be able to see me in the park!

Narrow bars and long stem builds from bitd were not ideal for long wheelies. Getting the balance point further back, wider riser bars, shorter stems and fat pedals and lots of practice is the order of the day.

Could never manage it, although it would be useful (theoretically) getting over the odd obstacle on the trail. I think it's a coordination issue.

Nope, only if it's got a throttle and an engine
