track stand
The track stand or standstill is a technique that bicycle riders can use to maintain balance while their bicycle remains stationary or moves only minimal distances. The technique originated in track cycling and is now used by other types of cyclists wishing to stop for a short time without putting a foot on the ground, such as bike commuters at stop signs. To perform a track stand, a cyclist holds the cranks in an approximately horizontal position with the front wheel steered to the left or right, and pedals forward, and back in the case of a fixed-gear bicycle, which the steered front wheel converts into a side-to-side motion.
== Origin and use ==
The term originated from use of the technique by track cyclists〔 prior to starting, or as a tactic in track sprinting whereby riders will initially ride very slowly and maneuver across the track in an effort to get their rival to take the lead so that they can then draft (or slipstream) behind, conserving energy for the final sprint.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Description of Track Events )〕
Other types of cyclists also use the technique.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Learn How To Track Stand )〕 Commuters and bike messengers use it while stopped in traffic, especially at red lights,〔 mountain bikers use it in difficult terrain to determine a path and BMX cyclists use it in preparation for tricks.〔
