Damn, this is pretty much the thing that stops me trying things that I reckon could be really cool. I don't think I know anyone who does a whole lot of the things I'd like to try and getting into things is always easier through people.

OK I'll stop now.
(20-mile ride tomorrow! I'm pumped.)

How do you people keep falling off? I never fall off. Not that it'd matter if I did, a car knocked me off a few years ago and parked on my front wheel. It's only barely slightly buckled and I've still been riding it fine for 3 years. Woo steel monster!
greenMonkey:
A combination of stupidity and not being used to how my new bike handles. My old bike was a 25 year old huge steel-framed monster: it absorbed everything I put into it without any wavering but was heavy as hell and slowed me down quite a bit on climbs. My new bike is aluminum with a little carbon: it's much lighter and livelier in handling, and is much faster. I'm still not used to the new geometry of the bike as well as how it corners, accelerates, etc. Those things in combination with my complete lack of caution regarding riding have caused my recent crashes.
jodizzle:
Although I myself am really not a bike person at all, the boy enjoys buying the rusted out old retro style bikes and doing them up lovely to sell. This one is his (although when he has time he plans to make a SUPER BIKE I think), and it was always both cute and amusing to watch him ride it up and down our driveway with his hair streaming out behind him, and the joyful expression you would expect to find on a 6 year old doing the same thing.
I personally just love the seat.
