    1. Just back on my bike .when I was a kid it seemed to be a case of getting on and peddling.
      Now it seems to be more of a science.
      I did 17 kilometres the other day, so happy. Ok It's not the Tour de France.
      Also running on dyno at home to help.
      Thanks for the great videos.

    2. I always thought that standing on the pedals was admitting that your legs were too weak to pedal up an incline so I never did it and looked with disdain on people who did… Maybe I'll try and do it more

    3. rear breaking without putting any weight on the saddle, and front breaking while all you weight is on the front of the bike
      Congrats champ…

    4. I've ridden motorcycles for 40 years. Is the ratio of braking, front and back combo, 60/40 the same? So we don't lean into corners or counter steer like motorcycles?
      Thanks for any advice
