Path to Mastery: Tips and Lessons from Experienced SportBike Riders on Improving Riding Skills and Achieving Excellence 🏍️🏆 Becoming a masterful SportBike rider involves more than just twisting the throttle. It's a journey marked by continuous learning, refinement of skills, and a deep understanding of the machine. Here, seasoned SportBike riders share valuable tips and lessons to help fellow enthusiasts enhance their riding skills and attain outstanding results. 1. Invest in Professional Training: Seeking professional training is a cornerstone for mastery. Enrolling in advanced riding courses provides riders with expert guidance, feedback, and a structured approach to improving skills, from cornering techniques to emergency maneuvers. 2. Practice Regularly: Mastery comes through consistent practice. Dedicate time to honing skills in various riding scenarios. Find open spaces for controlled maneuvers, practice emergency braking, and refine cornering techniques to build muscle memory and confidence. 3. Focus on Body Positioning: Mastering body positioning is crucial for SportBike riders. Proper body lean and positioning during turns enhance stability and control. Riders should experiment with different body positions to find the most comfortable and effective stance for their style. 4. Develop Situational Awareness: Exceptional riders possess heightened situational awareness. Always be conscious of your surroundings, anticipate potential hazards, and stay alert. Developing a keen sense of awareness enhances safety and allows for smoother, more controlled riding. 5. Learn from Mistakes: Mastery involves learning from mistakes. Analyze any errors made during rides, understand their root causes, and implement corrective measures. Embracing a mindset of continuous improvement turns setbacks into valuable learning opportunities. 6. Gradually Increase Speed: Gradual progression is key. Avoid the temptation to push limits too quickly. Gradually increase speeds as skills improve. This methodical approach fosters confidence and allows for a more organic development of riding abilities. 7. Understand Your Bike: Mastery extends to understanding the intricacies of your SportBike. Familiarize yourself with its handling characteristics, braking capabilities, and power delivery. This intimate knowledge enhances control and responsiveness while riding. 8. Embrace Defensive Riding: Seasoned SportBike riders emphasize the importance of defensive riding. Anticipate the actions of other road users, maintain a safe following distance, and be prepared for unexpected situations. Defensive riding is a key element of achieving long-term mastery. #Sportbike #SportbikeLife #SportbikeAdventures #SportbikeLove #SportbikeFamily #SportbikeStyle #SportbikePerformance #SportbikeDreams #SportbikeExperience #SportbikeWorld #SportbikePower #SportbikeRiders #SpeedDemon #TwistiesTime

What does an AI tool developed by the NBTC Netherlands Board of Tourism & Conventions teach us about accelerating the urgent shift to cycling? If you’ll let me step on my soapbox for a moment, I’ll start by pleading with everyone reading this post to stop engaging in bad faith arguments over bike lanes. We won’t—and don’t need to—convince everyone in the comment section. Our precious time and energy are better spent on the bigger picture. Instead, we should articulate a coherent, optimistic vision of a more liveable future, by sparking a values-based conversation about our societal aspirations, on which I’m convinced there’s a great deal of consensus: on safety, health, greenery, equity, sustainability, and prosperity. Once we agree on the destination, we can have a more nuanced debate how to get there. We need to expand our movement to bring in those left behind by car dependence. There is a much bigger coalition waiting to be formed outside the people already cycling, especially the young and elderly, women, and people with disabilities or lower incomes. Many of them would hop on a bike in a heartbeat, if it didn’t require dodging motor traffic from door-to-door. We must also rise above the culture war separating us into tribes based on our transport mode, which only leads to inertia and inaction. There is a tremendous latent demand waiting to be mobilized and activated; huge numbers that will support politicians willing to push against the status quo. Our mission is to ensure this silent majority is heard loud and clear. The five images in this post weren’t created by AI. They’re recent photographs of cities where the Dutch Cycling Embassy has worked: Paris, Vienna, Miami, Austin, and Tirana. Pioneers that have recognized transformational change is possible, but only by reframing the conversation, and asking “Not what your city can do for cycling, but what cycling can do for your city.” WATCH the full plenary: https://lnkd.in/eukYwAwt

La contesa fra mobilitá “attiva” è la mobilitá “passiva” è sull’ ’uso dello spazio urbano.

Earlier this year the online system provided by England Athletics which race organisers (like me) use to promote and manage events, and by runners to register for events moved from Run Britain to a new system - RunEvents. As well as the change being poorly communicated, and the system being far more clunky to use for race organisers, it's also a real pain for runners having to create a new account and to register for events. Whilst most of our previous and new runners have managed to register on the RunEvents system, this is an example of an email from one of our previous runners who has tried but failed to register. Whilst I think his abuse towards us is unacceptable given we had no input or choice to move to the new system, I do feel for him, and it's a reminder to organisations to make sure you do engage users properly in designing, testing and implementing systems. If it's not improving the user experience and it's making things worse, something has gone very wrong, and it's not only the users who are impacted. It's also those organisations who rely on systems. Whilst I understand that the new RunEvents system has benefits including helping to process payments automatically to race organisers rather than manually, the old system worked very well for organisers and runners. Whilst organising races is a hobby of mine which I've done in my spare time for over 10 years, it really made me think about the similarities with digital systems used in healthcare (the area I work in). If clinicians and patients have a poor user experience because of a badly designed and / or implemented systems, it's the people working in the NHS who take the flack, not necessarily the system provider and for me that's a really important point that system providers need to take into account when designing and implementing systems.
