Riding Tips For Classic Antique Bicycles

[tripple3]

Good thing it wasn't my bike...

You have let me ride your bikes in the past; I understand if you won't do it again.
It is Steve's bike and i think i feel more upset about it than he does.
i am sorry @Velocipedist Co.

Never let your friends ride your favorite bike. I call him Mayhem now.

I have, and all I ask is that you don't "Hot-Dog" it. Maybe Steve forgot to ask the same of you. Oh well, what's done is done. You are more than welcome to ride my bikes as long as you respect them and take it easy.

Yeah, if you're riding someone else's $5,000 dollar bicycle, don't ride it like you stole it.
Lol!

Oh hahaha

Today is North American Countersteering Day.

Remembering those old 50's versions of Superman
on TV ... I saw our hero .. in Superflight, of course,
extend his right hand (and arm) forward .. ahead of,
but in line with his left hand / arm.

Instantly, he went right. Whaaat ? !!

O.K. ... maybe read that again.

COUNTERSTEERING.

What if a bicycle rider were to do the same maneuver
on a bicycle ? .... say, above 12-15 MPH.

What if the rider were to push forward on the RIGHT
GRIP ... at or above 12 to 15 MPH ?

There are plenty of vids on YOUTUBE ... Counterseering ...
Counteering on a Bicycle ... Counteering on a Motorcycle ...

If I knew how to cut and paste .. grab and glue .. whatever ...
I wooda dood it.

If you try to put into play anything I typed in this entry ...
please use caution. There is every possibility you may
enter into a state of being called falldown.

Happy Riding ... and remember to continue to shun those
among us that are sad and moody.

..... patric



Here I am .. ready to employ countering as the speed of the parade picks up.

One I can share:
By and large if your wheels are moving your pedals should be too.
Of course there are times to coast, but from my experience it's more tiring to ride slow than it is to keep up a swift and steady clip.
