I can do a trackstand for a second or so on a single bike and for a tad longer on our tandem. I learned by doing slow races as recommended by Ned O, the ageless wonder. Slow speed riding skills can really enhance your ability to stay clipped it at traffic lights, clipping in when mounting, or on the trail while assessing your line. Bubba and I have slow races in parking lots at the end of trail rides all the time.
