Can you track-stand?

[Hilldodger]

Yep, especially well on my Penny.

 

[byegad]

Keep it up for hours. But my bikes are trikes!

 

[JDP]

Yes, most of the time but there is quite a bit of...er....functional micro balance adjustment (read wobbling) going on if the lights don't hurry up and change.

 

[mickle]

When you get really good you can get to the point where your movements are so tiny that you appear to be totally stationary. Casual as you like.

Making a roll-up whilst track standing was one of my finest achievements.

F****** show off

It cannot be denied.

 

[Lucheni]

I've just about nailed it after several weeks of practicing! Most of my riding is on the road and I thought this was the most useful trick to focus on. I'm not terribly smooth but I can balance for upwards of 10 seconds. I know I'm doing well because my "mates" have started making slightly nasty, jealous remarks. There's plenty of room for improvement though.

This gives me something to aim at..

Yes, all the time at any opportunity I get, waiting for people or at junctions and traffic lights. Admin or beanzontoast even took a picture of me trackstanding one of Hilldodger's tall bikes a couple of years ago.

My weakness is trackstanding with the wheel pointing to the left - usually a near-miss clipless moment follows.

Hands free, no probs. Track stand.... not YET

 

[supercooper]

I can ....... for about 2 seconds

Riding no handed has never been a problem for me,back in my teenage years i remember riding my Raleigh Arena for about 5 miles hands free,including junctions,but I cant track stand for toffees.I'm going to make it my mission this summer to learn though..
