Lol Thankfully I have never dropped a bike yet - but its come close a few times because I have short legs (only 5'5), once a bike starts tipping, particularly on a camber, I think you drop it in your head first and then its game over. Sheer bloody mindedness on my part - being a woman I would die of embarrassment if I dropped my bike publicly - oh the shame! I used to ride an XL125 when I was 17 and I couldn't reach the floor at all - I would ride in stilettos in case I had to stop anywhere - if I got to traffic lights I just went straight through - no way I was dropping it with 4 lanes of audience! :) The ZZR has a fairly low seat luckily - but it is a bit scary if it starts tipping. As for the video for picking up a bike - great except the only option for a woman who cant pick up a bike is to lay on her back and attract a stranger???? Ughhhh Men! Nice idea about the bike stand though for picking up the bike up from his "other left" - I wouldn't have thought of that till after - hindsight being that thing you get just after you needed it and all! I shall remember that one at least. Sam Beyond Metrix Ltd ~ evolving business online ~ www.beyondmetrix.com Usability, Accessibility, Validation, Best Practice, SEO and online marketing.

I probably had that bike back up and out the station before anybody had noticed. and then there was the time.....................................
