You probably know what your talking about. We can only guess. The last time I checked almost all bicycles were manual. There has been a few attempts at autos but they have never really caught on.

Those posts are pretty funny - If you don't know what he's talking about... DON'T POST !!! You just look stupid when you do - Notice I said, "Look." NOT implying that you are at all - I'm not!
Manual - To wheelie with out pedaling. This take many skrew ups before you get it - it's pivoting in that sweet spot where you JUST feel like you're going to role it over on you - THUS, this can not be done in the saddle.
Check out some of the YouTube.com videos for "manual"

are you talking about doing wheelie, but not pedaling? that extremely difficult. try doing it stationary first. in a low gear, roll slowly, apply both brakes hard, lean a little forward, then pull back and find your center of balance. try to hold the bike in that position for a while.
after that, move onto wheelies. move slowly, then give a kick on the pedal with your dominant foot, pull back, and keep pedaling while holding the front end in the air. its hard and i havnt even gotten it down yet.
when you get this, then you are ready to manual. roll slowly, pedal kick into the position, then stop pedaling and hold your balance.
be prepared to fall a lot while learning this and WEAR YOUR HELMET!
good luck

pull back to do a wheelie dont pedal and try to find the balance point on the back wheel. Once you have found it to hold you use your legs if your dropping and your brake if your looping. Learning to control your manual takes hour after hour of practice.

If your talking bmx, then lean back and balance with your knees. If you don't balance with your knees your not gonna go far.
