so all this winter wonderland talk has got me thinking.
last night while pillaging dc we were down by the white house's christmas tree,
the rubber walkway mats creating the path were wet with snow and kind of slippery.
there were tourists all over the place so we were going slow and threading our way through the crowds.

at one point, i did a little skip to bring my right foot forward again so that I could Tstand while some people walked by. I realized that even at these super slow speeds, it was easy enough to "hop" my rear wheel just long enough for me to rotate my cranks around about 45 degrees.

so..
here's the trick I've been thinking about
what if you were strong enough to pull the cranks around 180 while pretty much standing still

snowboarders/skaters can easily switch the board around to ride fakey
this would kind of be similar

oR better yET!
so you see these blinged-out suv's with there spinners.
if you were standing still (and again, if you were strong enough) you could spin your wheel and not go anywhere. add a spoke card or two and now you've got your own bike spoke spinners. ***BLING***

just an idea i'm working on
