Purchasing my first bike didn’t happen the way I was planning to. And gosh, was I glad that it didn’t.
Feb 8-18: We did it!
Three lessons this month. The last lessons I’d ever do. Because ya boi is a biker now! 🥺
Jan 11-29: Dark winter challenges
The lesson on the 11th was rather ‘uneventful’ – things were smooth. We just practiced some precision stuff and then enjoyed curvy dike roads with a little coffee break in between. Absolutely lovely!
The following lesson was much more challenging.
Nov 23-29: Joke’s on me
The last lessons leading up to the road exam were a great morale boost.
Nov 13 & 16: Find the flow
The lessons felt gooooood this week.
The first one was a very observing ride where the instructor just gave me directions and didn’t correct me much otherwise, to analyze the on-road behavior afterwards. He helped me to figure out some planning problems which hampered my flow in traffic.
Today I could test that and it was delightful. Much better. I did get a liiiiiittle enthusiastic in a corner exiting the highway, but it was a good reminder on how to regulate that — we revisited the exit a bit later and it was fine then.
Good pacing, the looking behavior was good, and I definitely couldn’t suppress a number of smiles in the helmet. Everything I could possibly wish for today.
Thirteen days to go until the exam! 🤩
