The contact point with the chap's head is well back from the 'bottom' of the wheel. Unless th ewheel is somehow locked from rotation I would have thought it would immediately roll backwards down his forehead. Was there something in the bike design that stopped the wheel rotating backwards perhaps? Mike Dear Mike, If you enlarge the photo and look closely, you can see a rope around the seat stays and rear wheel. Cheers, Carl Fogel |

Though I'm not likely ever to manage that trick, if I were to try it, especially with the wheel at that stomach-tightening angle, I would want the wheel locked solid.
