Riding my bike..

[A13X4ND7A]

I'm getting more confident and now riding my bike into Bath for work.

I see a lot of bikes about and a lady biker (who I think is on here??) came and pulled up next to me and said something to me last night... I want to apologise if I seem rude, I don't mean to be but I'm awful nervous and trying to concentrate, I cant hear people talking to me very easy in my helmet at the moment, and if anyone waves at me, I'm not likely to wave back because I'm probably going to crash if I start taking my hands off the handle bars just yet.

So overall Im apologising in advance! plus I'm very shy anyway!

on the plus side, Im gaining lots of experience and thinking of starting my own blog to express the emotions etc im going through to potentially help anyone else that might feel the same when they start learning!

Just do the 'biker nod' saves taking your hands off the bars

It wasnt me by the way but I cant hear anything once I'm on my bike either as I wear ear plugs.

Ye I been seeing this nod. Im so busy concentrating but I have managed that lol.

I just wanted people to know so that they didn't think I was being rude mainly!

don't worry about being 'rude' concentrate on your riding, and only worry about the nod when you've time and are able to do so. my eyes are on the road 1st and nod 2nd

of course, safety first n all. Just being polite and telling people, I dont know who the lady was last night but I dont want people to think im ignorant.

only harley riders are ignorant (ducks incase Cerruti is reading this? )

some nod some don't, enjoy the ride!

oh and for the record, if anyone happens to come up behind me, just please feel free to go past me, makes me more nervous someone sitting behind me unless its a car or Robert lol

Most people seem to, think they probably get miffed off with me sitting to the speed limits and the fact I cant round bends like i'm cornering on rails just yet!

How dare you say "only Harley riders are ignorant" you've completely overlooked the BMW GS brigade. (I just went though a puddle, I'm Simon Pavey!)
