How You Ever Done a Wheelie on a Bike?
Ask a Question
I see kids do this especially going down the middle of a road and think it looks so dangerous especially if they hit a pot hole.
Haha no chance. I break bones if I go on a bike. I'm a hazard on them. I don't do bike. No chance of doing a wheelie on one
Jerseydrew I have ridden a bike for years. I did rent an electric one in Lanzarote and that was amazing until it ran out at the end and we had to push them up a hill to return.
eyeballkerry lol. We used to have electric bikes that you could hire. The idea was you parked them up sensibly and others could see where they were and hire them. In practice they were dumped everywhere and heavy to move and you had to wait for them to be collected which could take days. Not so great if they were dumped on paths or at the side of the road. The company were no longer insured and must say no ones not missing them being ditched in annoying places
As a kid I had a Raleigh Chopper and while not the greatest of bikes they were super easy to do wheelies because of the smaller front wheel plus you had a suspension spring on the back of the saddle so if you sat back as far as you can go on the seat you could jump off stuff and it would take the impact of the jump. I probably did 100s of wheelies back then. You would jump off perhaps something one foot off the ground and then celebrate your success with a wheelie. As an adult probably zero. I can imagine if I tried it today it would not go well, not that I have a bike really setup for a wheelie anyway. Something better for lighter riders to do.
BonzoBanana My brother had a Raleigh Chopper, amazing bikes. Be worth a fortune if we still had them. My brother came off another bike he had and really done his face in.
eyeballkerry Mine was a really beaten up example that I bought secondhand at the time. I also had a Raleigh Arena road bike but for general mucking about I used the Chopper and it only worked in one gear. I never bothered to try to fix it if I remember rightly. It is amazing what old original Choppers sell for nowadays and I can't remember what happened to it.
I was a beast on a BMX lol I use to do wheelies with no front wheel on the bike, I could wheelie forever
I always used to do them when I was a kid. Do a wheelie and then straight into an endo, done it once and went straight over the handlebars 
Haha nope me and bikes don't go together been run over 3 times lol so I have up on the bikes
Leannexxx That doesn’t sound good. Glad you are here to tell the tale. It is scary out there on a bike, no enough room.
eyeballkerry you know what the worst thing is twice it was the same woman who run me over lol
Can’t say i have but that’s the thing with youth, you don’t understand just how dangerous things can be when you’re that young.
I look back and shudder at some of the stuff i did as a teen.
