when i was in high school
i rode my schwinn 10 speed road bike
and could do all sorts of tricks...
...my favorite was riding a wheelie
block after block
...or no hands up hills
around corners...everywhere...
if i tried a wheelie now
i'd be in the hospital for a week!
i'm thinking it's just because i'm old
and less adventuresome...
but you know,
i don't see any other roadies out there
popping up their front wheels either...
so, have i instead become a conformist
to the non-wheelie riding roadie consortium...??

No, you've just gained common sense and realized that you're not immortal or bulletproof.

that's why my wife rides with me...
...my best
last
remaining trick!
...just gets a little wild on downhills...
and it's harder to hang from the bar
with this new compact geometry!

I had friends that could pop wheelies on there varsitys or is that varsities when I could barely lift the thing of the ground. There is that scene in American flyers.
