📘 The Japanese Art of Bike Control – U-turns on narrow roads, on hills, and with saddlebags or a passenger: https://yumirides.com/b/ebook/n-g9-v6... 🏍️ Yumi's Japan Ride School Membership – A new slow-speed lesson every week to keep your turns calm (7 days free): https://join.yumirides.com Business inquiries: business@yumirides.com On a heavy bike, the shaky second of a slow U-turn is the one you spend waiting for a lean. Here is how we take that second away, piece by piece: • The slow crawl in first gear, held between engine and rear brake • A half-second press on the grip, so the bike leans when asked • A low, quiet right wrist for the harder right-hand turn • The wide teardrop drill, then full lock in three gentle steps • Open hands, and the science behind bars that swing by themselves 0:00 Intro 0:53 The slow crawl 2:20 Push to start leaning 14:16 The wide teardrop drill 20:34 Open your hands This week, once your wide teardrops feel calm, roll straight across an empty lot at walking pace, give the left grip a one-inch push and soften your fingers, five times on each side, and tell me in the comments whether the bars swung over BY THEMSELVES or only when your hands PULLED them.
