What constitutes a “good” rider? Is it someone who can do wheelies, drag his or her knee through corners, or rides for 100,000 miles without a crash? Undoubtedly, each of these traits are impressive, but the definition of a truly proficient rider is someone who understands the value of reducing risk. Riding with less risk enhances enjoyment and minimizes the likelihood of injury.
Good riders know that to reduce risk includes learning and practicing both mental and physical skills. Physical skills include advanced cornering techniques, emergency braking and evasive maneuvers. Mental skills include strategies for dealing with traffic, weather and other special situations.
