Stand on Bicycle Front Wheel

This is a trick to try to stand up on your bicycle with the front wheel on the ground only. Don't panic if you fall - just get up and try again.

Steps

  1. Be very careful when trying out this trick. If you have a helmet, wear it. If not, borrow one to wear! It also helps to have knee pads and elbow pads.
  2. Go to a parking lot or a place where there is a lot of space. Soft ground is probably the best to look for in case you fall over.
  3. Pedal your bicycle a little and pull your brakes gently, one at a time (left then right) to know which one's the front brakes.
  4. Stand on your bicycle while pedaling and pull your front brake. You should notice that the back wheel will jump off the ground. Do this step a couple of times to get the feel for it.
  5. Try leaning next. Now that you are used to the movement of the bicycle, try pulling down the front brake. At the same time, push your body and lean forwards towards the handlebar. Release the brake and pedal when the rear wheel gets to the floor and try the trick.
  6. Keep practicing and you will get better eventually.

Warnings

  • Wear protective pads if you have any and wear a helmet.

  • Don't attempt this trick unless you really know what you are doing.
