Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I've watched a profession photographer balance the bike and take a quick snap before the bike falls over.

Valve stems. Crank position. Saddle pushed forward. Too much steerer.

Not hot.

Didn't work. It's heavy old steel, so it ended up derailing the train.

Not possible. It's a single speed.
