Dude, you're seriously a reality check (or should be) for so many people.
Lab, the best advice I can give ya f/ many friends of mine who have ridden for years: Take the class! It'll save your life!
I'll get a bike at some point myself, but I won't even think about it until after i get the cert.

Not yet, I just emailed the guy last night :rofl:
I am definately taking the class. The only problem is it's all booked through the end of the year. I am on 3 waiting lists tho. If worse comes to worse there is a company that gives riding lessons. It's actually less expensive then the class but you don't get a certificate or anything so you still have to take the test. Even after that I would still take the class in the spring.

There is an opening in the ERC (experienced riders course) in November here in MD. I would have 1.5 months of riding and hopefully would have completed the beginners course by then. Think I should sign up for it or wait until spring?

dude... i would strongly suggest taking the class... i had to wait 4 weeks for mine... well worth it... I cant stress enough how i saw a guy teaching his friend on his own across from the parking lot where i was for my class..
Vrooom and his friend did a superman over the curb...
Friends dont teach friends how to ride.
Theres too many technical things that you do automatically on a bike that you forget to teach your friends
