Rant: Bike handling skills

Well this sure did get out of hand! How did we get from triathlons to people on the sidewalk and even people in the shopping centre (I hope that one was sarcasm)? Last time I start a thread like this. I was trying to suggest a safer way for us all to race. When your out training you should expect anything from anywhere, as for in the shopping centre all I can say is that patience is a virtue.

Imp not talking about beginners, Imp talking about people that I have seen at more than one race before this weekend… people that can run 3km in < 11minuites.

Racing and safety while doing so is another matter.

Thanks to all! I am a new triathlon coach for youth. On Sunday our first bike day we had to explain why bike fit and handling skills were so important. I will send all to this site (esp PARENTS) for the explanation.
