Wanted: A rider. Teach LdnGrrl how to ride day

Denise definitely belongs in the 'Super-cool women doing neat things on bikes' thread if she isn't in there already.

I'm not surprised she's pals with Oliver, I imagine Olly's mates are a magical band of elfs and magicians, and he's like Gandalf, but in a good way.

Cool. Obviously if the photo was higher resolution I would have known that from the pebbles. Or something.

Dunwich Dynamo, therefore its Dunwich beach. Nearly everyone that has done this has seen her, as she marks out the course with candles before the ride, and then does shepherding during the ride. She rides the DD twice each time its done.

Brighton. Pfft.

Proven to look good in a dress?
I guess I'll take any compliment I can get.

They're handlebar mirrors.

personally i wouldn't rely on the mirrors. i'd get used to turning your head to check for traffic. your confidence would improve without the use of additional bits on the bike.

it's good to see you're so keen on getting out on the road. saturday should be good.

Not worth going for frankly, you'll need your confident first.

get your confident first, then you'll have the confident to look back and make a good judgement before acting upon them.

Had one when I was a kid, but it's second nature to be looking over your shoulder when you ride regularly, only people I see with 'em are on big touring bikes occasionally. Might be OK for you with impaired hearing, who may not hear loud exhaust etc close behind.

Oh, I always look over my shoulder when riding, its just when doing so, the bike wobbles haha, and I was thinking to use the mirror as 3rd nature not 2nd.

Just gain the confident, you'll eventually be able to look behind you without wobbling the bike up.

Ved beat me to it but try Pigfarmer

He can't atm

it's just practice practice practice. it'll be second-nature sooner than you think.

Keep pedaling and the bike won't wobble

Okay, now I have an image in my head looking over my shoulder, pedalling then CRASH! :P

you should replace that image with: looking over my shoulder, pedalling, bike going straight, feeling good, then getting an ice cream.
