Nice one umar

When are you thinking of doing your bike test then ?

[Steve_T]

Done. Can't believe this matter is even up for debate. As far as I'm concerned there ought to be a fair test to see if whether your visor is appropriate, like the read a number plate at 20m test used in driving tests.

Signed.

I always ride in a dark visor during the day (regardless of what some idiot bureaucrat thinks I should be doing). It's a safety thing and that's the end of the story. As an intelligent adult, I will do everything to stay safe, and if that means breaking the law, then so be it.

I do however always carry my clear visor at all times (in a bag thing around my waist) as it's not just fading light that causes visibility problems with my dark visor - it's crap in the rain too.

Well, i have found out all the details from a training centre in Taplow, Berks. Its going to cost me about £550 to do the Direct Access, which includes everything i need to pass.

I am thinking of doing the actual test in the new year, aroung the middle of January, simply because i have no time to spare untill then.

Question:

are there places (or even PHer's ) that can talk to me about riding bikes, in general, the do's and don't, how things work, that sort of thing. I can read books until i'm blue in the face but dosn't compare with talking to people about it

DO[/do] Go fast
DON'T Fall off

Its does help to practice low speed manouvers on a mountain bike tight turns etc , helps with your balance when you hve to do a tight turn in the road on the bike ,

I go to a quiet carpark once in a while and practice low speed control , might sound daft but its fun especialy the wheelie across the lenght of the car park ............ helps learn balance
