the problem with that is I tend to hop curbs to dodge idiots and in general to get around
You need to learn the skill to bunny hop the bike, consistently, 100% of the time..
high enough to clear that curb edge, with room to spare..
U-tube.. study the bicycle Trials riders skills , and some Cyclo-cross racer's hops,
in the saddle, over barriers ,
rather than get off the bike first then lift the bike over the barrier
then hop themselves back into the saddle.
