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.

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.

A bike shop bloke told us "I like them, they break lots of bike bits."

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.

Conscientious objection is hard work in an economic war.
