Just curious-- When you ride, do you find that you're constantly looking at that white line right ahead of your front wheel? If so, that could be making you more wobbly. Lifting your gaze and looking farther ahead at where you want the bike to go can actually help you to ride straighter and more smoothly.

Would your friend be willing to ride with you a few times and offer pointers, so that you can be more comfortable when you join the group of four?
