Cycling home last night at 2230, I was vaguely aware of something over my right shoulder. Soon
after, a young lad about 14 years old, no lights of course, came past me doing a non-stop wheely. He
then kept going through a busy junction past a red light and still only riding on his back wheel,
looked back with a "chase me" face. He seemed most put out when I stopped at the red light rather
than rising to the bait. Simon Mason Hull

I remember once pulling up to some lights and, looking to my right, a young sallow-faced youth
pulling a very impressive stoppie up to the dashed white lines. I was actually pretty impressed -
it's quite a difficult move, so I'm told...--

A few weeks ago I was at a restaurant with my girlfriend, some kids on mountain bikes were seemingly
defying the laws of physics on and around a series of high planters and steel railings just outside
the place, when I was a kid, if you could pull a wheely on your "Sun" racer and you could ride with
no hands, you were considered a God, then some oik invented the BMX.Ian

I saw one who'd worked out that if he rode up to a concrete step so that his front wheel stopped and
he did a somersault over the handlebar, he could land on his feet on the concrete. His friends were
well impressed.Needless to say no helmet is required for this trick.

I saw some trials riders doing a demonstration outside last years bike show in Islington - the
comentator said they owned their own specialist bike bits company. I suppose they worked out it was
cheaper with the Victor Kyam approach. I can't remember their names, but I was seriously impressed.--
