My friend has a go on my Pug SS road bike - sensible handle bars, 700-23 tyres, firm ride (ahem) and all that...
She has been a life-long MTB Hard Tailer - Scott USA being the current one...
She nearly had a heart attack going round the Shoreditch one way system and came back ashen faced.
Reckons the ride feels treacherous and twitchy and generally felt exposed...and less in control - is this a transition thing?
Any tips, or words of encouragement? Or do I rest my evangelical hat and let her trundle around in the Land Rover tyred MTB?
