A bad day at work so I came home the longer off-road way. 700x25 is ok for rough stuff innit?
Going up one steep hill in granny gear I was amused at how the front wheel lifted on every pedal stroke, so was farting around trying to sustain the wheelie.
A while later, on a muddy rough steep track, I wasn't looking where I was going but the view to my right. I think that the front wheel hit a root/rock just as I put the power down. The wheel shot straight up to three feet off the ground. I whipped my head round to look forwards, but that in turn rotated the bike 90 degrees to my left.
Bike wheels don't roll sideways when you've popped a wheelie
In perfect slow motion I laid down in the mud and then unclipped
