Its not always the big things that matter, it is all the little things put together that removes fear and doubt and provides a new meaning to being more confident when confronted with the unexpected incidents when riding a bike. Thank you Janet for your wisdom and making every happen through practice and hands on. I hope I may never have to use all what I have learned, but al least I can now be of service to others who might be in strife.Oh, by the way, keeping a bike clean will now be a fashionable art. Cheers and thanks again Kuku and Carol Wawatai. We arrived home safe. Opotiki read less
