Can anyone do prolonged wheelies on a bicycle? It’s something that I would like to be able to do but have never been able to get the hang of. I thought that after having learnt to unicycle it would be easier to pick up the skill, any tips would be welcomed, like what gear ratio to use. I don’t have any sort of stunt bike, only a basic mountain bike. It would be a great skill to master because then I would have all the fun of riding about on one wheel and all the benifits of a bicycle in one machine.
Jeff Baker aka unibiker (R.I.P.) could ride miles on end like this:
and even on his motocross bike he would race friends like this:
Unfortunately he passed away at the end of last year, but he will be remebered.
Chris Reeder http://www.reeder.unicyclist.com did the same thing to his bike, cut off the front wheel, and rides like that.
