I know it might sound preachy, but if anyone reading this knows someone who is just getting their bike out after a winter's break, please remind them to take it easy for a couple of weeks. When you haven't ridden for a while, you lose your skills. It takes a while to adjust. Imagine if you hadn't driven your car for 5 months, it would take a while to feel comfortable with it again. This time of year is when there is a spate of bike accidents, along with the inevitable fatalities and serious injuries. I hate to hear of any accidents, but it's particularly frustrating at this time of year. Have a word with them, before it's too late.
