I guess I'm not very balanced, but other then just practice, what else can I do about this ?
Btw. if you guys were wondering, I recently bought a 2004 Klein Attitude Comp V with disc brakes from a friend.
thanks in advance for your tips.
You are using a different set of muscles and a different balancing scheme when standing up. Practice and training will make the difference. I love to ride standing up; it's one reason I prefer a ht.
