Having told everyone at work that Aberdeen drivers seem quite sensible around cyclists I've had 2 near misses in the last week (as Dave will testify when he saw a shaking with adrenaline Phil last night).triphilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892539883750893595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701403249720455082.post-45877788716369436252011-06-24T22:13:53.809+08:002011-06-24T22:13:53.809+08:00Laser Quest.

Remember when I snapped the Trek (way back in '94, which caused me to miss a rather fab birthday party of yours at Laserquest)? Took me ages to get back up to speed particularly on descents, primarily because I'd now seen just how thin bike tubing was and I worried about another frame snap at 40mph plus. I rationalised this by asking myself just how much more it would hurt at 40 than 25. 25 was going to be bad, so unless I was prepared to ride everywhere at 10mph, I might as well go the whole hog. Twisted logic perhaps, but anyway! It still took months before I was truly panic free on the bike, so give it some time too. All the handling skills you've amassed over the years haven't flown out the window but trying to go right back to 100% immediately will tense you up. Increments would be my advise. And a healthy regard for any wet metal in the road. I still bunnyhop cattlegrids if possible.Living with a Caterhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05685077509429962420noreply@blogger.com
