To reiterate what has been said already - Start on a Used bike You are going to drop it most likely. Probably just in your driveway, garage, a parking lot, or trying to off road it (cough what dumbass would do that?), kickstand on asphalt on a hot day, etc etc but most likely its going to hit the ground at some point in time

1. ALWAYS WEAR GEAR
2. Ride your own pace.


When you try to keep up with faster riders bad bad bad things happen.

You are 100% correct!!:dthumb:
