Wheelie

This bicycle trick involves lifting the front wheel off the ground, finding a balance point, and pedaling to keep the wheel up and move forward — kind of like riding a unicycle.


Lifting the front wheel of the bicycle in the air through force transmitted through the pedals, and continuing to ride on only the back wheel. The rider maintains the wheelie by applying pedal strokes and rear brake in order to balance the bicycle on only the rear wheel.
