	Sheldon Brown's Bicycle Glossary W
		Before the wheelie bike craze, there was a well-established progression of frame sizes for growing children, from 16", to 20", to 24" and finally to 26" wheel bicycles.
		Wheelie bikes were easy to do wheelies on, but their awkward riding position made them hellishly uncomfortable to actually ride more than a half-mile at a time.
		Wheelie bikes in turn were killed by BMX bicycles, which are much more "rideable", but the 24" market never completely recovered.

	BBC - h2g2 - Wheelie Bins
		Wheelie bin camouflage generally consists of four self-adhesive vinyl sheets that are fitted to the four faces of the bin.
		The interior of wheelie bins, unless regularly cleaned, will also generally smell horribly of rotting garbage and there will often be a pool of unidentifiable liquid at the bottom, which may or may not have anything to do with kicking out time and late night vindaloos.
		The wheelie bin has also become a medium of political expression: Two individuals were arrested in May 1998 in Birmingham, UK, when the wheelie bin they were occupying was pushed into the ranks of riot police trying to restrain demonstrators.

		First off we need to establish what a "wheelie" is. far too often do I hear people talkin about how they can do, or have seen someone wheelie, yet when compared to what -I- consider a wheelie, they fail to hold a candle...
		WHEELIE- the point where a WEE becomes a WHEELIE is when you pass the hump.
		BALANCE POINT WHEELIE - Ill go more in depth on WHAT the balance point is, in a minute, but for now know that a balance point wheelie is one where the bike is no longer accelerating while the front is in the air.

		The wheelie bar prevented unwanted flip-overs and kept the rear bumper from scraping on the asphalt.
		Popping wheelies is fairly easy with the wheelie bar attached, but you have to remember that you can’t steer the truck with the front wheels off the ground.
		It even continued to wheelie after shifting gears, which surprised the heck out of me. The truck got the front tires even higher off the ground with the smaller wheel attached, but it was a little more difficult to control at takeoff because the truck’s rear tires wanted to leave the ground as well.

	Wheelie Car Basics by Peter Shreeves
		In building wheelie cars I was not so concerned with speed or traction as I was with keeping the car stable once it was up.
		Wheelie castors are not really required for show cars so long as the part of the body that touches the track isn't metal which can scratch the surface or short the braids.
		Wheelie cars are a lot of fun and there is nothing magical about building them.

	NEW WHEELIE AID FOR WHEELCHAIRS:
		The “wheelie” is a useful skill that enables the wheelchair user to overcome a number of environmental obstacles (1-3).
		The inability of most wheelchair users to perform wheelies, the lack of an existing wheelie aid suitable for use on an on-going basis and the limited maneuverability afforded by conventional antitip devices provided the incentive for designing a new wheelie aid (WA)(4,5) that permits wheelie-like function (Figure 1).
		Unlike current antitip devices and previously reported wheelie aids, the new WA design is out of the way during normal wheelchair use but self-deploys when needed, making it suitable for long-term use.

		Not a wheelie kind of guy myself, but, short of mounting a 12 o'clock bar, I'd recommend keeping your toes on the rear brake lever and be ready to (judiciously) apply it.
		I don?t recommend shifting gears during a wheelie unless you are good at wheelies, and are able to use the clutch in the process.
		If the wheelie is in front of the balance point, you must increase your speed to remain at that position.

	Wheelie Tips (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Anyhow, on my 600, this is how I go about a wheelie: After the bike is warmed up of course, I get her down in first, then run the rpm's up to around 6500, let of the throttle completely and then quickly turn the throttle open(this is sometimes called rocking it).
		After you can get a wheelie going, you'll be wanting to shift it and keep on rollin' on one wheel.
		Obviously, the higher you are the better chance you have of making it(example pic at top of page); I usually pop the wheelie a little higher right before i shift, and during the shift the bike comes bike to where i was riding it.

	The Art of a Wheelie on an ATV (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Then as we progressed we learned that a wheelie was more than just a wheelie, and a trick was more than just a trick.
		When you are up in a wheelie your tires compress slightly, causing a small “flat spot” where they come in contact with the ground.
		The proper way to correct a wheelie gone bad is to apply the rear brake (preferably before you hit the grab bar).

	Caivano: Do you have the wheelie gene? : Columnists : Boulder Daily Camera
		"I think there's a wheelie gene, and you have to be born with it," says Nick Martin, a Boulder cross-country racer who last year made a goal of perfecting the wheelie, but is still finding the balance point that makes it work.
		There are two wheelies mountain bikers use to conquer obstacles on the trail — the traditional, pedaling wheelie, and a faster, non-pedaling wheelie known as the "manual." This variation was taken from skateboarders, who use it while coasting along only on their back wheels, Fisher said.
		The pedaling wheelie drives your front wheel up onto things, like curbs, ledges and other uphill obstacles, while the manual whips you over flat and downhill obstacles, like logs and water bars.

	Wheelie Bins & Refuse Collections
		Most homes in Swale now make use of wheelie bins, and their introduction has proven to have been very successful, with wheelie bins becoming the favoured means of waste containment in the Borough (premises where wheelie bins are not viable due to storage or access constrains may continue to use plastic bags).
		Most households in Swale are entitled to a free wheelie bin, with the exception of new development's built after January 12th 1993, and in addition to providing bins, Swale will also provide replacement bins free of charge should yours become damaged or unsuitable for use.
		It is the developer's responsibility to purchase bins for the development after 12th January 1993, but in a case where the developer won't supply bins, residents may purchase a bin for themselves at a cost of £35.

	Wheelie training: A school for showoffs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The wheelie course began in 2002, using a patented device that serves as a kind of training wheel.
		It is a boom that extends from the rear wheel hubs and trails behind the bike on a tiny rubber tire.
		As the rider goes into a wheelie on the first setting, the device cuts the power, bringing the front wheel back down; it can also activate the brake, bringing the front wheel down abruptly.

	Wheelie bin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The smaller wheelie bins, for domestic or light commercial use, typically hold 120, 240 or 360 litres, with 240 litres being the most common.
		Sometimes the term wheelie bin is taken to cover these smaller bins and not their four-wheeled cousins.
		The design objectives behind the bin were efficient use of space and safety: to provide at least as much space as the older round bins, whilst reducing the risk of injury caused by moving it.

		It was also quoted that if the guy's ask for and get wheelie bars, they will want to go faster, makes sense never heard many racers say they want to go slower so I will buy that.
		He proposed that to bring back the excitement that the old days of drag racing had that wheelie bars shouldn't be allowed period.
		What about allowing wheelie bars, but say they couldn't stick out past the bumper and making a rule as to their distance from the ground so that you could still get some big wheel stands if you hit too hard but reduce the chance of damage.

		The balancing portion, riding the wheelie as long as you safely can, clicking gears along the way.
		This is probably the safest way, to launch a wheelie, but it doesn't work on an EX-500, or many older 600's.
		Expect a chirping noise, and sometimes at higher speeds a bit of a wobble, but as long as the wheel is straight, it's not a big deal.
