Its not just wheelies the seem to get people annoyed. As I was riding home last night legally filtering past some very slow moving traffic, a nice old man poked his copy of the highway code out the window as I passed.
I use my highway code book mainly to hit cyclists round the back of the head who are riding 2 abreast on narrow country lanes.Sitting in traffic today I heard the roar of a chav off road bike ( not a legal roar but a fully non legal no lights or number plate full on chav trail bike) so glanced in the mirror, holy s
t that kid road down the entire line of cueing traffic ( 400 yards middle with on coming cars) on the back wheel 
.
I don't normally warm to these sort but had to smile at that one cus that kid could pull it off and at speed too, incidentally not one idiot in the cue was fist waving, maybe they are scared of chavs

Look at this yob doing a wheelie on a scooter but one thing for sure he is in more control than most of us rolling a bike out of a garage

Wheelies are no less than a public service. Those blessed with the ability have a veritable civic duty to conduct them whenever the opportunity arises. Anything in response other than rapturous applause or a grateful display of mammaries is tantamount to treason. Ignorance at the very least. It's the modern day equivalent of a noble knight rearing his trusty steed onto its hind legs, so that all around recognise him as a man of prodigious talent and steely resolve.
Sadly, even yer garden variety overtake is met with apoplectic rage from the Mail-reading lemmings, these days. As every right thinking Honda Jazz driver knows, beyond 55mph lies nought but death and destruction.
You could easily get the law on wheelies changed with this statement and quite possibly have them introduced as part of the DSA test. Sadly, even yer garden variety overtake is met with apoplectic rage from the Mail-reading lemmings, these days. As every right thinking Honda Jazz driver knows, beyond 55mph lies nought but death and destruction.
