  1. Oh yes ๐Ÿ™‚

    First off thanks all for the advice you gave a couple of
    days ago. I've ordered a new post as riding on my friends
    was a lot easier (it has a higher post).

    But on to the good stuff. After a really disappointing 30min
    lunch session this afternoon I was getting a little fed.
    After getting tea etc. I thought right I'm going to take my
    uni onto the streets and ride. I was only going to do that
    after I was confident of not looking silly. To h**l with
    that, besides it'll give the neighbours a laught anyway.

    After about 25 mins (usual session length) I was still
    getting nowhere fast (still v heavy on the seat) and then it
    suddenly clicked! I just got on and rode about 100m without
    any wobble. I found I had been sitting too far back on the
    seat before and just moving forward made all the difference.
    So to check it wasn't a fluke I rode another, then another.
    By the forth time I only stopped because I was so tired ๐Ÿ™‚ I
    laughed all the back to my starting point, grinning ear to
    ear ๐Ÿ™‚ Even got a thumbs up from the neighbour on that run!
    I also found my turning getting better as well as there was
    less friction on the road.

    So sorry for going on but I've got no one else to share this
    with, (I've txt my work uni buddy) and I feel so good.

    Oh and found out the sandwich man from work used to ride (he
    saw us and came and had a go) and he said he will join us in
    the future!

    Thanks again for the inspiration.

    norry (going out again)

  2. Congrats! It's a great feeling isn't it.

    The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a
    capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
    labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

    It's not exactly the same, but just learn a new skill - and
    you'll get that feeling. ๐Ÿ˜‰
