I finaly got my learners this monday. Today I went and bought a helmet (finding a helmet to fit was another "saga" which spread across many weeks) and as soon as I came from work I went directly to the bike. Initially I said I was gonna just take it out for a spin, cause it was pretty windy. I ended up with about 3 hours of riding through the city, until it got really dark and really late.
Who said "it's the most fun you can have with your pants on!" was absolutely true. I can't wipe the grin off my face. Even with the strong wind, it was so fun to ride that I couldn't decide to stop and go home
.
And... yeah, those preventing driving courses that I did a long time ago and all the practice of watching the other drivers (while driving a cage) really payed off. It's really good to be already in the habit of watching all the road users around you all the time.
