How Do I Overcome The Fear Of Riding A Bike by Kelvin30286063(m): 3:47am On Aug 11, 2022 |
I've always had problems with riding a bike, back when I was in the university, I tried to learn how to ride but I fell a few times so I decided that maybe it's just not for me. Years later, I feel I'm a lot more mature and experienced in handling automobiles now so maybe I'll give it another try. So I recently contact Gazzuzz and asked him to get me a powerbike. Don't say it. I know you all want to say that why start with a powerbike but I have always wanted to own a powerbike, infact, it's right there at the top of my list of things I want to achieve before leaving this world. Gazzuzz was kind enough to deliver the bike to me the next day and that's how my journey to learning how to ride a bike began again. My thought was if I have my own bike, learning won't be difficult but ladies and gentlemen, it's been 3 weeks since I got this powerbike, I still don't know how to ride. Except for field circling, I can't even get on the road. I don't know if it's fear of falling or the fear of crashing into a vehicle or the fear of the silencer (exhaust) burning my skin if the bike falls on my leg. I just can't get myself to do it. At this point, I'm thinking maybe I may never know how to ride a bike in this life. Meanwhile, I can drive a manual car from here to Ghana! Infact, my first two cars earlier in life were manuals and I have automatic cars now too so drive a car is not an issue for me. Guys, what do I need to do, I want to be able to pick up this powerbike, kit up like Gazzuzz and ride it interstate! 3 Likes

It all depends on you. You need to give yourself confidence and stop thinking about falling done or the fear of crashing, the more you think about falling or crashing, the more you will be afraid to ride it. You just have to Brace up. Superbike has been my dream also. 2 Likes |

Stop seeing yourself fall in your mind, see yourself riding safely and arriving safely. I Learn learn learn.. learn friction zones, target fixation, positioning and every other thing about safety on 2 wheels. Check msgroup.org or use Google Wear proper gear.. good helmet and boots minimum. Be wary of junctions and intersections .. most bike accidents happen there. Be wary of vehicles behind . In fact be wary of everything esp the road ahead . Look where u want to go not at the threat or obstacle When your fear goes develop it back don't get reckless, always ask yourself what if this goes wrong, don't feel like king of the road Above all say this prayer every day Lord as i go ou now bring me back safely in Jesus name, i cover the road and myself and my bike with the blooood of Jesus! 4 Likes 1 Share |

#TeamCBR for the win That’s a very crisp bike. OP, you say you can do field circling, if so you’re well on your way. Practice makes perfect. Ride more. Maybe find a less busy tarred road and put in some miles. Good luck. 1 Like |

stanfy:AH! This early morning? Wait make I collect change. OP, no smoke anything wey @nurey go give you oo. Meanwhile, since you are already doing circles round a field, try introducing obstacles so you master braking and maneuvers. Never get too comfortable. At this stage, do not, I repeat, do not ride to impress anyone. Ride to stay alive for now. Keep the speed low. Reject that okada spirit. Yes, that one telling to sandwich yourself in-between two vehicles or in between a vehicle and another hard surface. Reject that okada spirit that will tell you that you can make it through a small gap just in time. Na Igbobi e go carry you go oo. 9 Likes

GAZZUZZ:You want Nurey to come with his tales of how he once owned the Harley Davidson Cosmic Starship in Kano or how he used the MTT Turbine Streetfighter of his inlaw for 6mnts in Delta. Whereas he was just lucky to have been sent on an errand with one old school Suzuki Jincheng okada once in his lifetime. 8 Likes |

Another bored soul looking for wetin go kill am While op is learning, he should watch that video of how DJ Arafat killed himself when he crashed his bike A responsible man with a family to care for and a desire to live long and well for them shouldn't be seen throwing this kind of dice with his life.... Especially if he is in Nigeria where Bikers are not regarded as part of vehicular traffic, but a nuisance that can be swatted under the nearest trailer. 6 Likes |

Welcome to the gang! Riding is quite an easy thing to do but you just have set your mind on it. This is the first bike to drive then I guess you will little issues adjusting. Pack this baby one side and first find one small scooter to play with. Once you master that one it becomes easy to enjoy this baby Put crash protector abeg Farings are expensive once the bike hit side. Kelvin30286063: |
