===Track Stand===
===Track Stand===
Gängige Meinung: "Um ein Fahrrad in Balamnce zu halten, muss es sich vorwärts bewegen!". Das ist nicht korrekt!


Conventional wisdom: "a bicycle must be moving forward to keep its balance." Not so!


The act of balancing motionless on a bicycle is called a "track stand". The rider turns the front wheel to about a 45 degree angle and balances with the cranks horizontal. So the wheel can be brought back to straight ahead even if there is toe clip overlap, the crank on the side toward which the bicycle is steered faces forward. If the bicycle starts to lean to that side, a slight forward movement of the cranks will bring the tires back under the rider's center of gravity. If the bicycle leans the other way, rolling backward will correct the lean. This is the same action as putting more weight on the left leg to avoid falling to the left, and vice versa, but it takes some practice and it is easier with a low gear.
