Already well‑known in Europe, the Wheelie riding style is slowly making its way onto Polish streets.
Where did it come from, and why is it so popular in Western Europe?
The birthplace of one‑wheel riding is the United Kingdom, where every two years the peaceful BikeStormz ride takes place on the streets of London. On this day, cyclists unite for a good cause. The parade aims to raise awareness about high crime rates and knife attacks.
The event organizers promote the bikelife subculture, encouraging children and young people to break free from toxic environments and street gangs. Their goal is to show them an alternative lifestyle and give everyone a chance for a better future.
During the ride through the heart of the UK capital, cyclists perform various tricks, with most completing the route on one wheel.
The first event took place in 2014, and since then this style of riding has been growing in popularity. New trick combinations and bike models surprise riders every year.
Driven by the same values, Mafiabikes actively supports young people’s futures. They have become deeply involved in producing Wheelie bikes and promoting the cycling lifestyle. Their team includes many Wheelie riders who actively participate in designing and producing new one‑wheel models.
The Wheelie family grows every year with new models, improvements, and expanded uses — from casual street riding to hybrids combining MTB, BMX, Wheelie, trail, and street bikes.
Wheelie bikes are great for city riding. They’re comfortable, feature large tires, and have an attention‑grabbing design — think of them as BMX bikes on steroids. Each model can be used in new, creative ways — it all depends on the rider.
You can start riding a Wheelie bike at any age. A great example is 8‑year‑old Mafiabikes rider Ky Mani, AKA Mini Kizzy, who started at the age of six. Learning to ride on one wheel isn’t as hard as it looks.
Wheelie is more than just a sport — it’s a lifestyle and a stand against aggression and intolerance.
RMDBike is bringing this lifestyle to Poland. We want Polish youth to have access to a wide range of activities so everyone can find their own way to express themselves and their personality.
