How easy is it to raise the front wheel off the ground? I'm not talking about a bunny hop, that's way out of my level.
It know it's harder, on a road bike you're more stretched out, but then again maybe the problem is that I'm just an beginner.
Like anything it gets easier with practice. Practice in a park or on a grassy area if you're worried about falling. Place an object in front of you and learn to raise the front wheel. Then as you're more comfortable, work on raising the front wheel over, and then the back wheel as it follows.
