the one problem I'm having though is whether I'm doing something wrong or if its the bike.
I find myself catching the pedals on this bike quite a lot whilst pedalling around corners but this is the first time I have come off as a result.
so I'm wondering is it the done thing to stop pedalling around corners or are they particularly low on my bike?
am I just riding it wrong?
I would have thought that for a road bike of all bikes that they would have ground clearance for this around corners but obviously not. the bike was my dads who quite a bit shorter than I am about 5ft7ish and I am 6ft2.
Is the size of the bike the issue?

if anyone has the same issue or just wants tell me I'm riding it wrong then any response is welcome.

any help would be awesome
