New Female rider at age 57

[GILD]

@uni57

Dave (GILD), I’ve been riding for eight years and I still don’t know how I turn. I do it, of course. I just don’t know how it works.

The single finest description of learning how to turn was posted on this site.
Sadly I cannot remember the poster, else I would credit him/her.
Basically the advice was:

“Ride straight at a wall.
Don’t hit it.
Now do whatever you did to not hit the wall again and you’ve learnt how to turn.”

I think Occam likes that.

(i.e., sit in a swivel chair with your feet up off the floor – now swivel your hips – you do not turn!)

Yeah, maybe, but how many wheels on a swivel chair?

Bad example Uni57, bad example.

@PurpleFW

Hehe, I figured as much, though I still haven’t quite mastered it. You know the more I learn the more I think that riding a unicycle has more in common with riding a horse than riding a bicycle!

Aye, especially the “keep your weight on the seat/saddle” bit

@PurpleFW

But then I seem to find a way to always draw a parallel between horse riding and every other activity I do

Oh, you’re going to fit right in.

PS: Might be time to bump THIS THREAD again.
