- bullfightonmars 10y agoGetting up and down? With something this tall, it's a rolling ladder, you stop against a building, or have someone supporting your stop. Stopping at a light? Ideally you don't, you time the light, ride in circles, or hope oncoming traffic stops for you. I wouldn't recommend the latter.
- fuckemem 10y agoI've seen riders with cleats who can stop without putting their feet down. This is even without a fixed gear.
- cooper12 10y agoI think you're talking about a track stand.
- schoen 10y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_stand https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_stand A common skill for expert cyclists, but maybe not a good idea to rely on if you're going to fall 4 meters or more to the ground if you lose control of the track stand.
- davidw 10y agoNot to mention it'd be a lot tougher from that high up in the first place. I can do that on a mountain bike pretty easily for a minute or so, but at broken-bone height? No way.
- CydeWeys 10y agoWhy do you say it'd be tougher from that high up? I suspect it'd be easier. Inverse pendulums are more stable the longer they are.
