the left ever so slightly, and my left shoulder continues to stick
forward. ... I can turn to the left verrrry easily, but turning
right is much more difficult. I am right handed.... *
I am glad to hear I am not the only one who does this. For me, this
started when I started riding a 29er and it was greatly (negatively)
impacted when I installed an air seat. Very frustrating.
I removed the air seat. I have practiced figure-eights, circles,
slolam-type movements, hands behind, hands in front, done the
arm-swinging thing, etc. I can ride on the left side of the road crown
but the right side is really tough. Riding downhill and to the right on
the right side of the road crown just almost throws me in the ditch
....arghh!!
I have been forcing myself to ride on the right side of the road crown.
I am getting used to it. Have found that putting slightly more weight on
my feet gives me better control. (My favorite riding area is an old,
almost deserted office-park type of area. There is very little traffic
in the evenings and the few cars drive slowly so I feel pretty safe
riding on either side of the road.)
