You should've respond with "remember you used to be bad at trackstanding too".
Unfortunatly he didn't do any, so I can't be certain he was able to do them at all (4 foot rolling ones or not)! :)
I just think it's funny how seriously he took my cycling misdemeaners, he should have seen me undertake a lorry a few days ago! That was properly dangerous.

Telling a stranger that their trackstanding is rubbish is probably the twatiest thing I've ever heard.

Unless you yourself are doing a perfect trackstand at the time. Although you should expect a smack in the chops.

That's slightly unfair, particularly as I failed to mention I rolled back into him! :)

If you can't do it well sure.
If you can it is a handy way of getting away from the traffic and other riders just a little bit quicker.

Even twattier.
But at least you have to be proficient at it to be within the rules (I'm not)
Some of the hipsters wobbling about and rolling back and forth, taking up 1/2 a mile of road to try and trackstand look completely ridiculous, just put a foot down and set your pedals properly, and then be aware so you can move off when you need to. It's quicker than the strange dance they seem to do. Or is it some kind of weird mating ritual?

I once saw a guy trackstanding on a brompton, that was awesome.
But yeah other than that, on the track and to get away from lights a bit quicker, all trackstanding is twatty. Oh and if you're a bit crappy at clipping in and find it easier than fiddling with clips in front of heavy traffic. But other that that, all trackstanding is twatty. :)

wouldn't really class this as 'spotted' more, 'awared' but, thankyou to the bloke who shouted "get his number plate, man!" at me on bond street. he'll never see this but it at least made me feel less weird when a taxi drove into the back of me and then the driver had the audacity to ask me if i was a) having a laugh and b) drunk.
honestly mate (driver), if you can't pay attention, that is your fault, not mine. prick. -

Were you drunk though? You were weren't you? In fact you're as pissed as a newt right now aren't you?
