No, he's sliding along the rail, but usually (and more easily) riders will use the axle pegs on the same side of the bike (ie., either both left side or both right side). That makes mounting and dismounting the rail much easier.
If you look carefully at Mike's wheels his front wheel is to the left of the rail, the back wheel is to the right. That means he has to lift his front wheel high up over the rail as he mounts, which adds difficulty to the manoeuvre. I have a photo of him mounting that I'll process and post tomorrow; it will probably explain it better than I can. Picture being worth a thousand... ;-) Cheers, frank On 15 June, 2015 6:26:38 PM EDT, Jack Davis <jdavi...@comcast.net> wrote: >Is Mike then moving sideways along the rail? > >J > >Sent from my iPhone > >> On Jun 15, 2015, at 2:41 PM, Knarf <knarftheria...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Finally got out and took some real piccies on the weekend.
