track stand
The track stand is a bicycle maneuver in which the cyclist perches over the bike, trying to hold it almost stationary. The track stand may look, to a non-cyclist as if the rider is about to lunge forward, which may happen if the cyclist loses control of the bike. To “track stand” is to hold a bicycle more or less stationary by perching over the cycle and rocking back and fourth slightly such that it does not fall down, as it would if it were completely still. This move is easier to perform on a fixed-gear, or (racing) track bike, hence the name. The direct drive from pedals to drivetrain on a ‘track bike’ allow the cyclist to gently rock back and fourth. Timed track stands competitions now feature at many bike messenger and fixed bike enthusiast meets. The move is also used widely by mountain bikers. Since the freewheel, which only engages when the cranks are pedaled forward, is common on mountain bikes, the technique usually involves a slight incline so that the cyclist can gently pedal up and allow the bike to rock back. This allows a biker to pause before negotiating a particularly technical bit of terrain such as a deep crevasse, a jump or a stream. Any cyclist can hold a track stand on any bike for about fifteen seconds, often long enough for a light to change color, or enough of a pause to stop for a stop sign without stepping off of the pedals and leaving the riding position. Like a lot of US slang, the term can be used as a noun or a verb, or even an adjective for the particularly linguistically obtuse.

My Name is Walter Hardwell White, My Mug was sent to 308 Negra Aroyal Lane, AQ, New Mexico and arrived on-time and I am very satisfied. My "Glock Dookie" mug is great for my lab work, and my friend Pinkman loves it!
I love this cup! My now ex-husband loves his opioids more than life itself. He would constantly pass out dead to the world the only thing I would here was his death moans. I had to call an aid car for him so many time that I can't remember plus 2 or 3 times the doctors told me that if it wasn't for me, he would have died. Her abandoned me after I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer because I was of no use to him any longer. I have no clue now who must be the one that's obligated to save his life any longer. All I know is I'm free from him now. The only thing I'm waiting for is that he finally overdoses himself & he's dead. I am buying a cup to send to him for our divorce anniversary gift so he can keep it in memory of how he treated me.
I loved it! Excellent quality!
I received the mug as a gift from a friend with whom I exchange "Weekaversary" eMails. I love the concept but am wondering why "aniversary" is spelled with only one "n?"
Wish it had the example text as well, but I loved it anyway
