Graham, here's the advice about riding Ratracers on the road, kindly provided by Denise:
"Yeah with riding the Ratracer on the road you need to set the brakes up for road travel, much much sharper on the front and then balance it with the rear brake. As for sharp right turns you have to filter traffic and flow at speed, even heavy traffic and tight corners are doable, as long as you know how to bank the bike tightly without steering, me personally I've never had a problem but then having a baptism of fire riding in traffic in Holland or from Bikefix to Hillingdon on Sunday via Ealing and Southall or The Dunwych Dynamo or The Brevet Cwmre with Dave Marino....etc, confidence comes with experience. Take the lane and hold it as if you are driving an articulated lorry basically. I've banked the Ratracer so tightly on R/H turns my tyres and bike defied the laws of physics!!!" |
