Just a quick question, as i was going round a corner yesterday barry sheen style i had two littles thought, 1) this is gonna do some damage if i fall and 2) how are you meant to corner quickley and safely? Especially on the excuse for wheels we use.

Practice and experience. Unfortunately, you have to come off a few times before you find out where the limits are.
Your inside leg is up, your outside leg is down. Other than that it's all about adhesion and balance. Oh, and look at where you want to get to...
The road conditions will make a huge difference: Camber, wetness, greasiness etc.
Every now and again there'll be a tractor with a plow on the back or bloody minded phesant that will not move with a look on its face that will burn through the shiny black lycra...
What im trying to say is. It's not safe to blitz round a bend you cant see down here as you dont know whats round it, but if you can then i dont stop peddaling......
Sorry ive had far too much caffine, again.
one thing: don't lift your ass of the saddle, or it will hit the asphalt.
