New rider needing advice
I am a new rider and have been riding around my neighborhood to get the feel of my street bob for the past few days. When it is time for me to take it to the major streets, should I go alone or find someone to ride with? I feel very comfortable on my bike.

Welcome from Bristol, England.

I would recommend taking the MSF riders course if you havent already.

Practise some slow speed manouvers (an empty car park is good if there is one close to you) including riding in a figure eight, doing U-turns within the a typical street width. Stopping and setting off. Its these skills which are probably the most difficult to learn.
 \\;
When you're happy with these then head on out there. Try to pick a day and time when traffic are likely to be light the first few times to help build your confidence. Ride within your own limits and be well aware drivers in other vehicles \\;often dont see you, so \\;ride cautiously. \\;

Welcome from Seattle! I agree with Photo - take the local safety course if at all possible.
