The act of maneuvering your bike around people on a pavement or other public area, without knocking into anyone.
If you make physical contact with anyone whilst doing this, you fall off 'The Tightrope'. As a consequence, you've created a very awkward situation, as well as making a fool of yourself.
'Walking The Urban Tightrope' can sometimes be a tricky business.
