Yes, 1st gear at a light. Just like an MT car lol. It's nothing difficult, it becomes second nature. You just become a better rider/driver for all of the time you put into it.

Bike schools are easy. Just takes time.

Of course it is.

It was interesting because I would have thought the gearing would have been RN12345 just like normal cars, but its instead 1N2345 with R in there somewhere?


So you have to pull the pedal up with different forces to engage neutral or 2nd gear... Lame.

Neutral becomes pretty easy over time, it's just a half-click.

There's no reverse on a bike. No need


I highly recommend the motorcycle class. It takes a weekend and you're good to go, plus you don't need your own bike. If you hate riding, you're out $100.

Of course, if I were interested in riding, I'd for sure take the class, and just use one of theirs.

But I'm not interested in riding.

Fair enough.

I like to think of the class like going go-karting. It's cheap and fun and gives you a chance to try something out.

I agree, they look very informative and educational. But the safety risks of what could happen if you come off the bike far outweigh the pros in my mind. I like the feel of the body of a car around me.

Low-speed crashes are hardly terrible, and that's about the only thing you'll run into when taking the basic rider course.

I mean any wreck in general... Just not the environment I'd wanna be in.

I ride my bicycle far faster than the MSF course has you going.
