CDC Bike Learner

..or rather, with a renewed passion and motivation!

 

Hello all! I previously took 2b lessons over @ BBDC and stopped @ 3.01 (the plank course). Why? Cause I fell on the plank so many times and the final time, nearly broke my leg when the bike fell on my knee (had an old knee injury from sports). So after that, I had a phobia of riding and stopped lessons for more then 1 year and a half until recently, due to personal reasons, I decided to reignite my passion for riding and restart taking bike lessons here @ CDC!

 

My practical 1 (07/07) went well, though we didn't have enough time to complete everything, thus coming back for a 2nd practical 1 (13/07), tomorrow! Am really looking forward to it and I realise that the last time @ BBDC, I was rushing too much through the lessons that I did not master the basics and fundamentals of riding.

 

Thus, I hope I'm able to go all the way this time with a stronger motivation and passion to finally learn and master riding!

I suspect the smell of the centre's pad stuck to me le..

[Shinsou]

Just came back from prac 7 and am really pissed grraaaagghh!

 

At the second part of prac 7 we were supposed to lead the instructor to show them that we are familiar with the test route. So since I wasn't really familiar and the guy in front of me looks zai, I followed him. Until a part where I vaguely remembered we had to turn left at a junction (and I signalled left even though the guy in front of me signalled right), I CONTINUED TO FOLLOW HIM AND FILTER TO THE RIGHT LANE in preparation to turn right. Then the instructor shot up from behind and niam niam niam.

 

In the end he had signal the centre lane to stop and let us filter from the RIGHT lane to the LEFT lane in the junction (on the pedestrian line) so that we can turn left at that junction.

 

GRAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHH!

 

What could have taken 1 lesson to pass will take me 2 lessons because of my folly.

 

Lesson learnt: NEVER FOLLOW THE GUY IN FRONT OF YOU!

 

In the end, 2 of us were the only ones who failed this prac. @)(&$*#*&@^

well, I think bcos if u are taking practical day time, sure sweat like water fall.. lolx.. thus the smell..

 

anyway, it's good that you are concerned of your own safety... and smell... lolx

 

yea cuz all lessons except TP need to wear one .

 

if you ask me, I think they wanna avoid us from getting serious injury.. and "sue" CDC for negligence.. at least with these things, injuries possibility are cut down..

 

my 10 cents guessing..

i understand ur situation.. myself also "learnt" from wrong ppl sometimes.. like those check back things.. when to check, when no need..

 

sometime other ppl very confidently tell u this this and that that.. but actually they are WRONG!! learning the wrong thing from wrong ppl can be very severe for TP Test or even on the ROAD..

My bf and I were passing through Ubi area when we saw this accident consisting of a car and fellow rider:

*Pardon the image quality*

 

We didn't actually witness the whole accident but I figured that the accident happened just minutes before we were passing through. Freaky thing was that this morning, I was at the same junction learning how to do my u-turn for prac 7.

 

Fortunately the victim is alive, just that he has some fractures (I think)

Oh my, I pity the rider! I hope he'll be fine..Thank god he's alive though! Anyway, in the third pic, is that a civil defence paramadic? He seems to be wearing a SAF LBV and side pouch for the gas mask..

just do what u did from prac 1-4.. don think of whether will pass anot. go with pass then pass fail then fail no big deal mentality.

 

u keep on think pass or fail will backfire coz u will panic and make mistakes.

 

that's imho.
