Knowing how to use the brakes, gears and ride well is part of the equation, learning to predict, prepare and avoid drivers who may kill you is another. Experience is a great teacher. I watch guys fly by me and thread the needle between cars all the time. I've paid those dues. Situational awareness and experience (preparing for the worst and avoiding high risk situations) is the way to go. Those who speed around blind turns are gamblers. Ride like your life depends on it.
Why do I keep going down?
Well I did it again tonight! I fell down for my 8th time now!!! I’ve only been riding for maybe 6 months or so and have fallen down 8 times now and I can’t figure out why I keep falling? I feel like I’m a good rider I really do but for some reason I keep falling down.! Tonight I was driving around a gas station store and a car came around the other side kinda fast so I guess I pulled the front break while making the turn and like always I was on the ground! I must have the best luck ever because I have never been seriously injured actually in all but one of my falls I’ve jumped back up and rode off with out a scratch on my body! I’m just confused on why I keep falling down? If anyone has any ideas on why I’d love to hear them. Thanks in advance!
