i live on a dirt road. and so whenever i leave my house i have to ride straight towards where i want to go. so what that means is that i have to ride down a berm of sand about a foot high at a 45 degree angle and then slowly turn my handlebars in the direction i want to go. ive dropped my bike several times in front of my house. luckily its sand so no damage to my bike but still! but ive gotten very good at balancing on my bike and also correcting my steering as im losing control while i drive up my road. and dont get me started when it rains! riding in MUD is HORRIBLE! especially when the mud becomes 6 inches thick

 

The city recently repaved our neighborhood with this cheap gravel and its not sticking very well. I used to be able to ride around with my visor up to enjoy the wind now i have all these rocks getting kicked up at my face. Neighborhood speed limit is 25 but I try to keep it around 15 and it feels like my rear tire is fish tailing everywhere, turning makes it even worse. I'm still kind of new only been riding about 7 months, maybe its just something I'll get used to.
