I've been riding my bike and I've been into triathlons for about 9 months now. My first real (and currently only) bike is a tri bike. I don't do many huge group rides so I don't get that experience much and I do most of my training alone or in smaller groups.
I keep hearing how roadies lambast trigeeks for having horrible bike handling skills. Well, since I'm mainly a trigeek, what bike handling skills should I have? How do I practice and perfect them? I know that I need to get out with some larger group rides. One problem is that I have only a tri bike, but since Austin is the Triathlon Capital of the World, tri bikes with aerobars in a group ride don't automatically get spit on by roadies.
So, how can I improve my bike handling skills?
Thanks.
