Great Bike Skills
Was waiting to be picked up from St Kilda Rd this arvo, not far from the
Shrine of Rememberance (rode to work but had to go somewhere with someone). It was around 5.30pm and I was thinking how great a day it was and how good it was to see so many people riding bikes home from work (good weather brings em out in droves). There was a guy on the other side of the road heading towards the city on a mountain bike and he was pulling a mono from hell. He would have been within my sight for 200m or so and he was on the back wheel the whole way. I reckon he was doing close to 30km/h as the dude on the road bike behind him wasn't catching up. He pedalled for most of the way but a couple of times he coasted for at least 20m or so, still pulling a wheelie. The road there has a slight bend but this was no probs for this dude who was still on the back wheel when I lost sight of him. So whoever you are......you rock!!! Ride On, Gags (who is stoked if he gets in 10 full rotations of the pedals when pulling a mono). |
