quite cute with his ginger stubble too, sort of like a badass teenage beeker.

Meep meep!

have you high/low sided yet

No, why would I have?

Your advice is all good, and weighting both pegs may very well help over bumps (I certainly found it helped going up hills off road with road tyres), but, contrary to popular opinion, it doesn't lower the centre of gravity.

I see. It certainly does the trick though.

It's probably more like changing the leverage point relative to the C of G perhaps?

Sorry to be serious...
Road bikes handle like shit and you will have less control if you dont hang off at least a bit. There are a bunch of reasons for this but here's one that hasn't been mentioned: We judge distances a lot more accurately with our heads upright (eyes level) which is a Very Important Thing when cornering. The only way to keep your head upright and weight to the inside is to hang off.

That's probably it! I'm waiting for Mikkel and his band of physicist nutjobs to turn up and light the way.
