How to ride on a sidewalk and not be victim to a rideout crash (i.e., slow down and watch for turning and crossing cars before crossing streets or driveways, expect that motorists will not see you, esp. if you are riding faster than a ped can walk). <BR/><BR/>2.

Proper seat height position, as his knees were too bent with the cranks at the six and twelve o'clock positions, thus not getting all the power possible and possibly leading to knee strain. <BR/><BR/>You go, Neale.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
