One other thing I'd add is to look toward where you want to go, not where you don't. Some people focus on a rock and end up hitting it because their attention is on that spot. Look at yourself when you slow down or accelerate from a stop to see where your eyes are settling. Maybe you're getting nervous and looking down?
Funny you brought that up. This was the problem I had when I learned to drive. My driving instructor kept yelling at me to look farther down the road and not the pot hole right under my nose
. Now that I think about it, wobbling pretty much always happen when I'm slow *and* looking down near the front wheel (e.g., avoid that pothole since my rear is sore enough as it is). I can't believe this old bad habit is coming back...
