I had the chance to follow SalMaglie around the mountains a bit ago. Do what he does in that you look where you want to go and go there.

You probably fell off the bike because you drove it like a car. On curves they can lean and slide a whole lot before they go down.

Start slowly on a little twisty road. Enter the curve and look at the place in the curve you want to be, not straight ahead and your body will take the bike there. The bike will not fail you and it will not slide out on the slow practice curves. Once you get the hang of it increase the speed a bit per day.

It is doable to get past that fear.


I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.
