? about a technique

[sundial]

Irulan, thanks for the video links. I should add......I have tried shifting my weight back but the problem is I'm coming down from a steep hill and I find it's really difficult trying to lift the front if I'm doing a nose dive of sorts. So I break to a halt just as my tire touches the bridge, I lift the bike, then hop back on and pedal across the bridge. It's not pretty, but it gets the job done.

hmm, I guess I'd just control my speed on the approach so I can set up properly to get up the bridge.

ohhhh now I have a new trick to learn.

I have a similar bridge and that's what I do, not lift up, weight back. However, there is another bridge that has a higher lip and I have problems getting that angle right. I will have to master the manual and give it a shot. But it all happens so fast so it should be interesting! Thanks for the link!

It's the same idea as getting up a ledge, a large curb or some stairs. I think the trick is, the way she describes it, is getting set up as you are making the descent and then having to put it all together.
