sure... go ahead and walk across the tracks!! there's no embarrasment in that!

if you do decide to ride... make sure you are going over the tracks at and exact 90 degrees.... don't try to go on an angle cuz your tires will get in the tracks and you will fall!

that was rude of your friends to make fun of you for falling! trust me... everyone falls off a bike at some point!!!!!

welcome to the boards! and HAPPY RIDING!
