Bought one this summer as it makes sense to me. I'm a noob so I don't have much to compare it with in terms of cagers' reactions.

Plus, it's part of the agreement I have with my partner to do most everything I can to make it back home in one piece so I can add to my list of a gazillion mistakes as ...

braking practice

I was practicing some tight turns, u-turns, and sudden stops yesterday. I don't particularly enjoy the drills but I know that practicing is the only way to improve.

I've been trying to pick up the speed for my braking practice and yesterday the rear wheel fishtailed as I stopped. I was able to ...

Durn. I bought a bunch of cheap tennis balls and I was hoping I'd figure out an easy way to cut them.

Where there's a will. . .

ATTGATT

When I talked to my primary care physician about downhill skiing, she cautioned me to wear a helmet. She noted that, as a side benefit, people would think I was really fast. :laughing:

Biking-wise, I'm a noob and an ATTGATT kind of girl. I haven't been on a charity or poker ride yet, but the ...

In the first hours of my course this spring, someone started to ask a question. The instructor interrupted and said emphatically, "You're not going to ask about countersteering, are you?"

Yes, but they're also supposed to base their decisions on the exam alone. In my class there was a blatant example of that *not* happening, but it's supposed to be an objective evaluation.

I almost went too slow for judgment on the quick stop but the instructor/ evaluator said he would've just asked ...
