If you could have one bike skill....

My boring answer: To be lightening uphill!
I'm almost there... just need to keep pushing myself

 

[John90]

I'd also like to be able to do this (here)

Unbelievable!

 

[Fast_Mark]

Childish as it may seem I'd love to be able to wheelie. Having spent much of my teenage life arsing about on bikes I managed to get quite skilled in things like trackstands, massive bunny hops, kick-hops etc but never quite managed to sus out wheelie-ing.

Jousting. Mine would be jousting, maybe with a snooker cue.

Being able to read My Garmin without my glasses

Not on a racer, but the text-to-speech in this wheelie tutorial is broken in a funny way...

Really long wheelie

Tee hee

 

[supercooper]

A faster hill climber without a doubt. All I need to be is loose between 4 and 6 stone and it will happen

Or 2 ft taller

 

[Angelfishsolo]

Now there's a though. A 8ft MTB rider

Or 2 ft taller

Bunny hop!

I've wanted to be able to bunny hop ever since I read about it in a library book. I loved the idea of being able to hop over small obstacles and whenever I had a minute I'd practice but I had friends living nearby and if they saw me out on my bike they'd come out too and we'd end up riding all over town. We were all about riding around as much as possible. It sounds a bit like I'm complaining but I really miss that.

 

[mark barker]

Its clear that we need a CC bunny hop tutorial!

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Climbing. Anything bigger than a railway bridge has always had me flailing about like a distressed walrus. I'm not built for it.

 

[Nebulous]

I'd choose to be fast. Seriously fast - like a very fast, fast thing. Or even faster than that.

 

[Jezston]

Another one wanting to learn to bunny hop!

Would someone here who can do it on their road bike maybe give us a video tutorial?

Back-pedal braking on my fixie. I've given up trying - just can't do it. I wouldn't do it all the time - too wasteful of tyre rubber - but I'd like to be able to do it.

Wait ... what? You ... you just push the pedals the other way?
