Track stand

Today I was walking around SW 4th Ave and saw a bike messenger at a stop light. He did a track stand, which is when you balance on the pedals of the bicycle at a full stop without putting your foot down. He had a fixed gear, single speed bike. It was pretty awesome. Then I took my bike out for a spin and tried to do what he did, and I obviously couldn't. Keep trying!

I think the key to that trick is having the fixed gear: thus you are totally in control of the revolutions of your wheel and bringing it to a complete stop.
