Started a thread the other day about riding ruts. Many suggested I get a bit better at hopping so I can get out of trouble if required.
So I spent a bit of time today trying to learn how to bunnyhop. I’ve pretty much got the hang of it, but when hopping sideways I can only go to the right. If I do a standing hop and bring both wheels off the ground at the same time I can just about if I try really hard move a foot or so to the left but if I try to bring the front wheel up first I just fail catastrophically. Is this normal behavior or am I so right handed that I will only ever be able to get out of ruts in one direction? Unusually I’m actually left handed but I assume I must be a right handed cyclist.
Any tips or shall I just get back out and keep practicing?
Also any tips for not feeling like a tit when you’re out in public wheelying and bunnyhopping all over the place like an amateur would be appreciated…
