SSDC - Anyone Taking 2B There?

[jhawk2820]

Went for my first lesson today. Was surprised that I was actually ok on the bike and the instructor took me aside and taught me how to change to 2nd gear on the mini-circuit; ahead of the others!

 

However, still must come back for another round of Lesson 1. Is it true Lesson 1 always have 2 sessions?

 

lesson 1 is building your riding foundation. with good foundation, you can have good riding skill, tactics and altitude in later part your of your lesson.

Can't wait for my next lesson! Learning is a fun process; I can concentrate on learning and enjoying riding without the dangers of the roads outside. I find this really refreshing and I treat every lesson at SSDC like a small "holiday" from my busy NS life.

 

lols. i too can't wait to get started again. you're in which prac huh sorry -.- i forgot. anyway~ next time jio me along also! we could probably get the same slot or something =)))

go for as many CRs as you feel you need to gain your confidence with the bikes. also like somebody said earlier, go at your own pace. do not rush! something simple like trying to follow the rider in front when doing the U-turn at ave 6 can really screw you up if he/she suddenly brakes for any reason. no point adding this kind of uncertainty to the test that you waited so long for. so give plenty of space for yourself...take your time...and you will be fine.

The syllabus has been changed. Now prac 5 becomes the first road lesson. Assessment is prac 4. U will need to approach one of the instructor to make some modification on your record.

[sharonLOOO]

huh -.- **** la lidat. approach instructor or approach the counter? DARNNNN.

You have to go counter to ask them update for u, or email them. Must do it manually one, not auto.

yucks? omg -.- so serious?

Haha. Practical 1 only la! But I'll catch up someday

 

P.S. You can buy a cheap mesh cap from bike shops costing $5 only. Works like a more permanent, washable helmet cap! Prevents the classic driving school "smelly head".

nothing can stop the smell from some of those helmets...especially after the rain...even the guards stink...even the rain jackets stink...that's why i ended up getting my own for everything...cannot handle the smell...

[shunoski]

yeah.. the rain coat minimum only size M.. I wear XS on my X-Lite. Then size M limited, all the girls kope and I left with nothing on a rainy TP day. The size M looks like L or bigger, with the worn out elastic waist. I wore once and I look like Hip hop Bike Learner. No harm getting your own, you'll use it if you eventually ride after passing, no need care about other learner think you're a poser. It's your comfort, you're the one doing your own TP.

[ah-bard]

been 3 weeks since i went for my last lesson...nw getting a bit lazy liao lol....tink this sat i go for CR then next week go for assesment lesson liao.

[scubasimon]

found out on sunday's rc that the bikes are assigned for the test...and that the bike you use for the warm up will not be the same bike you use for the test. argh! some of those bikes can really be tough to handle. the other day i got one that is very difficult to engage 1st gear. i had a problem everytime i stop...had to do a lot of extra kicking early just to ensure i get to 1st gear. then yesterday got a bike that did not like to get to neutral...less of a problem here i suppose.

 

anyone knows how the bikes are assigned for the test? mine is coming up on thursday.
