We definitely disagree on the back up thing. How about these two situations:
A) I stop in the middle of ride, pick up my front wheel, spin it 1000 counts forward, put it back down, and continue my ride.
B) I stop in the middle of my ride, pick up my front wheel, spin it 1000 counts forward, spin it 1000 counts backward, put it back down, and continue my ride.
A becomes a segmented ride, but B does not?
