panda practice
Is it cheating if you're stationary? These side ones are hard.
Unfortunately not, as I had to drop a bike off for tuning up so was on foot today. (This photo was actually from a few days ago, too.) I keep wondering when we'll accidentally cross paths... the downtown area isn't THAT big!
I wear a white bern helmet - with either a turtle or a whale on the handlebars; the rider I spotted had a purple helmet (matte?) and a dark upright type bike. I was going to shout out, but she was riding fast and it was an intersection. One day we will meet up, I'm sure!
I think "easier said than done" might apply to the panda phenomenon, but I'm finding that practicing while stationary gives me more confidence to try when moving. (That and wide open spaces with nothing to crash into.)
Thanks for visiting Kara! I've been very much enjoying reading your biking+crafting adventures.
I don't think so! AND, did you just whizz by on Barclay? If so I almost called out at you!!

ReplyDeleteNo such thing as cheating in anything cycling related...! This is a well composed shot actually..I like it.

I have yet to take a Panda. I have no idea how everyone can take them so easily. I don't think I am coordinated enough.
ReplyDeleteBTW...thanks for visiting my blog. I love finding new bike blog friends!
