How to keep up on a small bike

**Katman** · 10th March 2013, 21:15

Well since Graywolf's not going to answer the question, I'm going to go out on a limb (because I haven't read the whole book) and say that the book says nothing about 'The Zone'.

I'm going to put that down to the fact that the writers of the book also think the whole 'Zone' thing is something best left off the road.

Graywolf is welcome to try correcting me on that though.

This I believe is the number one way to have a crash free existence on the road, nothing about zone, flow or whatever other quasi-mystical theory you may subscribe to.

Warning. You are in danger of an infraction for improper use of logic. The use of logic with the thread in such a state of degeneration ... is entirely pointless ...

There's only 1 way to guarantee you won't be involved in a crash and that's to stay way away from the road.

Someone mentioned surgeons using the flow, why don't you jump on that, that's about as directly effecting the other party as possible.

If someone can prove that it's recognised in the medical literature that would have to end this argument pretty quick.
Any surgeons on KB? (tui anyone?)

It would be safe to say ... not riding to the extent of your abilities might help.

Minor errors then don't turn into really big fuck-ups ...

Not sure if anyone can help you Steve.

So the "flow" state occurs when fully engaged in what you are doing. Seems accidents/emergency actions are usually preceded by some form of distraction. I understand that both of these have been established through extensive observation not by any form of mysticism. The "flow" state ought be experienced daily in a number of activities by most, those who don't are likely missing out somewhat. However to hear of someone new to riding experiencing fear almost to the point of throwing up is an entirely different form of flow.
The study of "flow" comes from "positive" psychology: how is it that healthy people enjoy life and advance rather than the study of what is wrong with unhealthy people.
"Zone" seems to imply some level of "exciting" risk.

Not really.

Surgeons have a far smaller area of focus required of them.

They also have a whole team around them monitoring a whole array of issues that they can't afford to be distracted by.
