For the love of Pete just pick your feet up and ride! I mean if you don't have enough confidence or the sense of balance enough to know how to handle that ride of your then 1) park it. 2) get your self a trike or some kind of training wheel kit. 3) take a riding course and learn how to handle that bike of yours.

Thanks I feel better now.

Next program your GPU's for the local Starbucks, load your laptops in your recently mink oiled saddle bag or backpack and head out. I understand that the live internet newbie biker ettiquette room opens at 7:00 each night. That way you wannabe biker internet commando's can thump your chests and howl at the moon till Starbuck closes.

Man, what a bunch of whiners. The original post was an observation. Most of the rest of these replies seems to be coming from "offended" people. Grow the F$$K up. Foot dragging, waves, 1/2 hour sunday rides to and from breakfast and the latest boutique garb don't make you a biker(Rider). It's called "SEAT" time. If you need to fit in go find a support group at your local HOG rally.

OK, now I feel better.........

I can't believe someone resurrected this thing, ( at least it's in the BS forum where it belongs ) and I can tell it's gonna be a looong winter coming up...

Its a safety thing.... you have a lot less control of your bike with your feet down when you're moving, and if you're on gravel or sandy pavement, and you only have your front brake to stop you, its quite likely that you're going down.
