I weigh 250 and I can trackstand for a minute or so. I'm going to go ride my bike, and see what I do at lights when I don't trackstand. I think I often just dismount, with the right foot on the ground, left foot on the pedal at 10am, ready to power down. On the kickoff, I rise up onto the saddle, and catch the right pedal with my foot as it comes over the top. The only downside is that the Brooks nose bolt might catch a back pocket, but that hasn't happened in years.
If you want to stay on the saddle, can you tiptoe the left foot, and lean farther out a bit farther to get the tripod effect with less stretch? I need to test this myself, to see if it even makes sense. Off to the ride the bike and eat some lunch, Philip www.biketinker.com On Monday, April 29, 2013 7:24:10 PM UTC-7, Peter M wrote: > > The lights here are about 200 feet apart, I try to cruise to each one but > you need to dart out each time to not get killed by people turning. no way > my large body is gonna balance, Haha. > On Apr 29, 2013 10:12 PM, "hsmitham" <[email protected] <javascript:>> > wrote: > >> Or you can just cruise slower up to the lights for better timing :-) Or >> learn how to balance on two wheels indefinitely saw a guy do this on a >> hellishly long signal. >> >> Hugh >> Sunland, CA >> >> >>>> >>> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "RBW Owners Bunch" group. >> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an >> email to [email protected] <javascript:>. >> To post to this group, send email to >> [email protected]<javascript:> >> . >> Visit this group at >> http://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch?hl=en-US. >> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. >> >> >> > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
