apparently everyone and their mom with a 400 pound sportbike can do this visually impressive trick when rolling up to a group ride, but I'm having a hard time learning this on a 20 pound roadbike. Is a sustained stoppie harder on a bicycle due to the lower mass, weaker brakes, or do I just need to "commit" more in terms of speed and braking?
