and I decided to get some use out of our bikes on Saturday. A leisurely 12 mile ride around our place.
I’ve known it for ages, but apparently just learned this new factoid about me. I can’t ride a bike standing up. You know what I mean, right? When you get to a hill, lots of people standup to help them get momentum. I can’t figure it out. I’m a relatively coordinated person, but this just baffles me!
When I stand up and bike, I slow down and feel like I’m about to tip over. It doesn’t feel natural.
We also learned that while I have worn helmets my whole life – including on my tricycle – Nick cheated death for close to 6 years before he ever wore one. It’s a miracle he’s alive 🙂
Can you bike standing up? Or is it just me? I’m beginning to feel like it’s just me.
One reply on “Riding a bike while standing up”
It might be just you, but at least we know there is something that you can’t do! 😉
