It's an "Outrigger" in our neighborhood.

What an exhilarating feeling! On my ride in this morning I was reminded that achieving such an angle is not really practical, especially on snow. On a few corners I stuck my inner foot far out to the side to stabilize the bike- a maneuver I'm sure any winter rider is familiar with, but to my knowledge does not have a name. I thought of a few: The "human kick-stand", the "horizontal arrest" or perhaps the "kick-stand". Anyone else have a better moniker for this move? -- /\ / \ ,, / \ O || ,/|\ <<' // ``// // ^^^^^^^^^^^ Steve _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies
