Here is a question, to which I couldn't find an answer on this forum (might be my searching technique
).
How do you control yourself and keep to sensible speeds while riding your bike on public roads? What I mean is what do you say to yourself or do to resist the urge to open it up through a nice sweeping bend or fly away from traffic lights? I keep finding myself doing silly speeds on my way to and from work (all of you know how fast an SV can go). It's not that I try to race everyone (I'm not really a competitive person), it's more like a race against myself.
I know what you're going to say - young and stupid. But everyone has gone through that and people, who managed to stay out of hedges and avoid white vans, are the ones, who can calm themselves down and lead long and hopefully happy biking lives.
I thought about this when a colegue at work showed a phone picture of a bike accident he witnessed this morning. Not sure how the biker faired, but I was told that he was conscious after the crash (I hope he's fine).
Anyway, what are your thoughts on this? Advanced training, experience or meditation? Let me know please before I end up like that guy in the photo
