Riding a bike while standing up

and I decided to get some use out of our bikes on Saturday.  A leisurely 12 mile ride around our place.

I’ve known it for ages, but apparently just learned this new factoid about me.  I can’t ride a bike standing up.  You know what I mean, right?  When you get to a hill, lots of people standup to help them get momentum.  I can’t figure it out.  I’m a relatively coordinated person, but this just baffles me!

When I stand up and bike, I slow down and feel like I’m about to tip over.  It doesn’t feel natural.

We also learned that while I have worn helmets my whole life – including on my tricycle – Nick cheated death for close to 6 years before he ever wore one.  It’s a miracle he’s alive 🙂

Can you bike standing up?  Or is it just me?  I’m beginning to feel like it’s just me.

It might be just you, but at least we know there is something that you can’t do! 😉
