Bike Riding
Been seeing a lot of people riding bikes around campus lately. Some of them can do it with no hands/handlebars (via flobots). Wish I could bike without hands, anyone know how to do it/teach me?
I can do it with one hand, which I was very proud of myself for learning. In retrospect, this is probably really easy to do.
yeah, it's not too difficult if you set your mind to it and practice. i would try and let go of the handlebars and keep my hands right above them, and at first I would have to grab them after about half a second, but slowly I got better. It's one of those things like putting out a candle with your fingers that looks a lot more badass than it is. oh, and while it may seem scarier, it's easier to do it if you're going faster. more inertia.
Ahh I know the pain! Riding with my left is so easy and natural, with the right I am significantly more wobbly. Not super wobbly, but I can feel a huge difference.

ReplyDeleteThank you for this advice! Wait how do you put out a candle with fingers, just lick them first?
ReplyDelete<3 u inertia
I am just figuring out how to ride with only my non-dominant hand. I still wobble around a good deal, though.

ReplyDeleteWas that Bryan Miller?
ReplyDeleteToday, I rode my bike with both hands. OLD SCHOOL.
ReplyDeleteAlso, "y'all" has an apostrophe. Real southerners know how to punctuate their dialect.
Was who Bryan Miller?
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm not a real southerner at all, not even a fake one. I just like saying 'yall' sometimes. Fuck punctuation
as far as the plural form of "you" i prefer "youse" or "youse guys"
ReplyDeletepittsburgh people say "yins".
ReplyDeleteshits whack
I guess no one got the dick-in-butt joke there.
