I still cannot ride a Wheelie. Initial attempts have proved unsuccessful. Zero fucks given. Further attempts also proved fruitless... No further fucks were given. Wheelies seem out of my grasp...

I have no idea where I am
I have gained like, 8 or 9 pounds since March, and I have been riding more than ever.
Better watch the cheese!
Same problem here, except I've been hiking with 25 lbs, riding and walking almost everyday. Some of it has to be fat but I'd like to think a little is muscle mass. Right now you can see the veins in my shins and knee caps. I'm a tanning bed and a Lady Bic razor away from looking like a way too serious, middle aged roadie. :rofl:

I can wheelie but I run out of culinary talent past cooking Top Ramen no matter how many times I try, so I can relate to you somewhat.


I expect to lose a bunch of weight in Italy, though. :homer:
I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be able to resist tiramisu and connolis.

In the cleavage of the Tetons
I can *sorta* wheelie, and can cook just about anything, but I can only do very rudimentary mathematics in my head.
My wife has an engineering degree from Dartmouth and a masters of accounting, we are on different planets.

30 feet. Terrain cannot be a factor. I cannot do a Manual anyways. I figured I would master the wheelie and then the manual. I practice on a rigid hardtail.
Why is a bike with no rear suspension called a hardtail while one with no suspension fork is called rigid? Shouldn't it be a hardnose. You could go with a more universal description and call it fully rigid but that seems too complex for a simple bike configuration. Just tell people you ride a hard on.
