It's not about controlling her it's about being a buffer and being there to reassure if she needs advice.
but it was just a suggestion for him..........just a thought

Yea settle down Susan B Anthony! Yeesh... That's exactly what I am trying to do. If she needs my help or needs advice, I am there. If not, I am out of the way. If you look at the "action shots" I took, I stay way back from her and give her plenty of room to do whatever she wants/needs to do. If I feel she is making a mistake of some kind then I can swoop up and correct it.
Case in point, the MSF instructor taught her to ride in the center of the lane (where all the oil and shit is!). I do not agree and have retrained her to ride on the left or right portion of the lane. The way I explain it is for her to stay in whatever portion of the lane that is farthest from potential danger from traffic. Usually the left, which gives you a slight buffer from idiots jumping in from side streets. |
