Learn to Trackstand

Something I have to learn to do better (at all!). If I do lose nerve and stop, then at least I shouldn't fall off.
Hans Rey Adventure. Pretty good instructions here for lots of basic technique, with photos and lots of details.
teamestrogen.com Lots of details and photos. Builds from riding in a circle
Biking hub With videos. And videos and descriptions of bunny hopping etc. (Not sure about this guy's elbows though)
BCMBG.com
Paul Makepiece, and no-hand trackstand too.

Practice on grass, face up a slight hill, so that one uses the pedal to counteract a small backwards rolling motion. Stand up, weight quite forward, shoulders as far as over the handlebars. Have your good or 'chocolate' foot forward (same foot as you have forward on a snowboard) and make small short strokes to roll forward. Most people say turn your front wheel 30-45 degrees towards the lead foot, but others say the other way. Most say turn the body to face the handlebars. Asa Salas recommends practicing cycling with short stokes round in a tight circle as good practice. Most say it is good to practice leaning against someting a first too. Eventually the small pedal strokes should become a motion backwards and forwards with the body.
If it stops raining this weekend, then this is my task for the weekend, while the kids play with their own bikes.
