I can't seem to get that 'pass the other bike, then back up until your front wheel is even with their back wheel before you cut your front wheel' thing down.

My bike does not have reverse, so I have to head in. This makes George mad.

My bikes are never parked. They go with me.

She wins!

I look forward to seeing her riding in the X games in 10 years or so.

I used to do that all the time with my VW bug. And my bosses old Porsche. And my mothers Volvo.

I do it all the time on my MTB.

I actually parallel parked my Breezer once in front of a coffee shop. It was on a street where the stalls are marked and I took up an entire stall. Had the ring lock on and everything. Nobody said a word.
