yes, that was me. the guy who did wheel stands at every red light in my morning and afternoon commute in Chicago from Lawrence and Pulaski to 63rd and Stewart (Englewood high School)that is from the North side to the South side of Chicago- a one way trip of 17.5 miles. If you don't think the public is watching just fall once and hear gales of laughter. I had seen the track stand performed in matched sprints at Northbrook track on thursday nites and was very impressed, but i was told you can only do it on a fixed gear track bike , oh yeah? watch me, and i learned that u can do it on a road bike, ok, listen very carefully, i am going to reveal my secret of how to do it. Every road is higher in the middle so that it will drain the rain water into the gutter , you use this "hill' to balance you and your bike. aim your front wheel at a 45 degree angle up the hill and put your left pedal at the 9 o'clock position, now you apply just enough pressure to keep from rolling backwards, you actually jockey a little back and forth. do it until u get the hang of it, on the track the rider balances by using the fixed gear against the banking of the track, there now i can die knowing some one will carry on my tradition of freaking people out at stop lights, Allen the incredible Oh, btw u need a fairly smooth road to do this- if the ground is bumpy its much harder. technically the law says this isnt a stop that you have to put both feeet on the ground to comply with the law, but i was too lazy to keep reacquiring the toe clips so i stood there until the light turned green with my both feet in the toe clips!
