Hi borgagain, nice little writeup on yourself there! I know I have tried to convince a couple of people in the past to check out riding a bike for their balance issues, and never succeeded

.
Oddly, I had an balance issue which I encountered when starting a new medication. I still have some issues on certain bikes, but not on my regular riders. I find that to be odd, but it still doesn't keep me from riding.
I am happy to see you will be a C & V fan--we have an ongoing thread there for Ross bikes, so feel free to throw yours in there.
Welcome to BF!
