Zen should be crowned, "the TE librarian!"Originally Posted by Zen
Me too - hate downhills. Nope, don't need medical help*, not phobic. I'm afraid of heights and it translates into riding As somebody said, I'm OK if I'm on rolling hills but going downhill off of Mt. Lemmon - not a happy camper. I'd rather go up. My bike doesn't shimmy, rock or roll. Wheels are trued. I feather the brakes. I don't brake in turns. My top speed is 30mph.
Once a tandem passed me doing 65 mph (according to their cyclometer.)
*There are those that say riding a bike in traffic qualifies somebody as insane!
