Everybody is always riding around town going all fast and being smooth and graceful,
BUT WHAT ABOUT..........

STAIRS on a FIXED GEAR BICYCLE:
-Who has ridden down a set of stairs?
-What about riding up a few stairs?
-How many stairs?
-On what bike?
-Is it possible to wheelie down a set of stairs? (Meaning, ride down with only the back wheel touching the stairs…)
-Is it possible to skid OR skip down a set of stairs?
(Seems like it would be possible to skid all the way down, since the tire’s contact patch is only the narrow edge of each step…)


DROPOFFS on a FIXED GEAR BICYCLE:
-Who has done a dropoff? (loading docks, two or three stairs at high speed, etc….)
-How high was it?
-On what bike?
-Did you keep pedaling in the air?
-What happens when you land?

WHEELIES on a FIXED GEAR BICYCLE:
-Who can ride wheelies? How far?
(Seems like you could basically ride a wheelie forever if the gear ratio was right and you had the sensitive application of pedal pressure dialed-in.)
