Welcome to Russell's Masterclass

For those who believe a bike should only have one, or no,wheels on the ground

Editors Note: Now if you think I wrote this section, you've got to be joking. You have to remember my numerous contacts with the floor (see elsewhere) and you need to know I can barely bunny hop those cables that you see on the road from temporary traffic lights. However, as my old man always says, it's not what you know but who you know and fortunately I happen to know a young man who not only can do all the the growing numbers of manoeuvres we will show in this section but seems to have a knack of being able to describe how to do them as well.

His name is Russell (that's him left and right being a *********) and he wrote the following for a website owned by Roy Pink Cycles. In a moment of weakness he said I could use the text and images and, if I spoke nicely to him, he said he'd do some more. So I did and he will!

If you have any tricks you can do on your bike that you'd like to share them with others, please let us have them. Or, if you need to know how to pull off a specific manoeuvre, there's a strong possibility that Russell will know how to do it, so e-mail us and I'll get him to help.

Please tell your friends about this site.
