2nd session for practical lesson 1 and I fell inexplicably. Not sure what happened... could be cornering too fast, could be brake too hard.
Chipped my front tooth, abrasions on arm but nothing too worse for wear. Carried on with the lesson after dressing my own wound and had great fun around the circuit.
On a happy note, I can now proceed to lesson 2.
Chipped tooth at <30kmph with helmet on. What would happen next? What would happen if I go faster out on the roads? Break my arm? Leg? Back? Neck? Head?
The thing is, 2 sessions in and I'm still struggling. I look around and no one else seems to be falling as much or as hard as I do. They all seem to be doing just fine.
So why can't I do it? Am I not cut out to ride bikes? I have no problem once I get moving but it's the low speed or braking that always gets me. No technique or skills whatsoever.
Now I'm not sure if I can get out of the circuit lessons alive.
The advices are divided between to continue for a few more lessons and see how it goes and just stop before something real serious happen (and spending too much on a futile dream).
Really torn now. I really want to get the license but I'm not sure if I'm cut out for it.

Managed to get the tooth fixed within the day coz it didn't fracture too deep or damage the nerve so hot damn lucky! Now it just feels odd... But at least it's still there instead of a gaping hole.
And it's nowhere near Christmas! Who else can I ask for front teeth?!
