I seem to be seeing it more and more lately but it is one of those things that seems to irritate the snot of me. I see a biker riding through an intersection, parking lot, turn or what ever else with their feet hanging out to the side just inches off the ground. 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.
OK, how many seconds are allowed before you must retract your legs/feet? Just like a plane, you just can't retract the landing gear instantly upon take off. I though it is logical to retract your feet over 1 to 2 feet as you pick up the speed.
