-> Is it possible to ride up a curb without hopping ?
Yes, it certainly is.
-> Could someone give me a full description of the different
-> ways to get up a curb ?.
Well I don't know about that, but I can certainly tell you something
not to try !!!
Two Curbs in a row.
I was visiting some friends in Tewkesbury England, and brought my uni with
me for giggles (Seemed like a good idea at the time),
Anyway, after riding around the town market for a bit, whilst on the
way back to their place I spied a 'double curb', the first 'curb'
being about 3 inches high, the second a little higher, these
were seperated by about 6 inches, so I thought, hey a challenge.
Anyway, I hit the curb at an angle, this way I can turn in to
'meet' the curb at the correct pedal position, and also I was
'extending' the gap between curbs.
I made the first curb perfectly, and ended up perfectly poised against
the second with my pedals level but stationary, in my subsequant attempt
to mount the second curb from a standstill I fell spectacularly to the ground
and felt a tearing pain in my groin.
To cut a long story short (and I'm sure you will be grateful I have
done so), I have since suffered almost a months discomfort and embaressment.
I appear to have pulled/strained/damaged my Azoes muscle (spelling may be
wrong), which is an essential component in any groin apparently. All I can
say is I will never attempt such a foolish act again as I I cannot recall
suffering a more uncomfortable injury !
Hoping this advice may save another soul from the suffering I have had
to endure.
James.
