just my another miserable plan, to make a fortune from track stand competitions :)
really? I think it helps with getting to know each other (you and your bike) :D. A beer.. sorry, a better feel of balance...
If you have a good balance at low speeds it helps you to maneuver around cars in the traffic. I don't like putting my foot down somehow, especially on the fixed, because then you have to bring your foot forward and lift the bike a bit to let the wheel spin etc.. too much :D
