    Can someone explain what "weighting the outside pedal" means?
    Say I am coming down a long hill, with a big right curve. I lean into my right, right pedal up. If I am leaning in, how can I weight the outside pedal at the same time?
    I can do five more miles.

    It's "like" standing on one foot and leaning to the opposite side. If you turn right, you are standing on your left pedal and leaning to the right.
