How the Mighty Fall

Here's a link to a video showing Brad Pitt dropping his bike while trying to lane-split. (I got this from Keith Ciffus on our club website).

Low speed maneuvering is really tricky. But take heart, all ye newbies who drop your bike occasionally; it's highly unlikely anyone has it on video.

Gosh. Thanks for that. I remember when I first dropped my bike...and felt so..**** If Brad can do it...well. No harm in my doing it.

Lovely. Thanks for that. I still think about how I dropped mine years ago - and still felt a ******. If Brad can drop his bike - so can I.

I've dropped mine several times, and I'm an officer and ride leader in a riding club. I traded my Venture for the BMW because I kept dropping the Venture - I'm a big girl but it's really top heavy. And I lead rookie rides for the club - doesn't inspire much confidence if the ride leader drops her bike.
Everyone drops her bike sometime, so don't feel like a *****, or even a ****.
