I have never tried to do a trackstand, I don't see the point if I know the lights are going to be red for more than a minute. I just unlip, sit on the top tube and take a drink, look at the scenery, check which cars are behind me. If I can see the cross lights are changing from green to orange then I will balance for a few seconds and go. Do trackstands use up a lot of leg energy?

The majority of our city is flat so I guess this makes them harder to do, than on a slight incline.

CHEERS.
