Ellyt247 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Unfortunately, nothing at the moment. I am a complete newbie with it all. Have nothing yet - bike, gear, licence or experience. Waiting for lockdown and Covid to sod off so I can get started 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellyt247 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 33. So a bit of a late start. Yh I've looked into it all and have considered if I should go for a DAS of if I should get use to something smaller for experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do then you are fine with the roads, it's just positioning and approaching things from a bike perspective. Do a cbt have a couple of lessons, that will give you a much better idea.

Ellyt247 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Yh, I've been driving since I was 17 and I cycle to work daily. Would like to think I have some experience with that but it might be different on a motorbike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynax Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 As you cycle you will already have developed most skills also associated with biking, main problem for car drivers is the use of the clutch which you often have to slip while using the rear brake, takes a little time and practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
