While it may be admirable to be able to overcome certain things like mounting and dismounting, would it not be more prudent for those with challenged leg length to ride a bike that they can actually reach the ground on? I mean, is he going to do this at every traffic light or stop sign or in waiting traffic? Hardly, so, I do believe he is just showing off, also, I think it would be a more
difficult maneuver for someone tall. I have done it on a much smaller bike, but unless you really need to do this, why not climb aboard from the right side, takes some practice as not conventional but easier once mastered. At the end of the day, get on a bike, anyway you can, and ride! ::001::
