    Bummer, glad you are OK. On loose surfaces, the uphill brake never works, the only way to stop the bike going backwards there is the downhill brake, in this case the rear.

      I was actually using the rear brake, but it wasn't enough. I just got unlucky. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I ride a lot of gravel. Cruiser and ADV. Once you get the hang of it, it gets easy. Also, that's not how you are supposed to pick up a bike! Your way is way harder. Check out a Motortrek video on it to see what I mean!

    • @TrekkieMoto
      @TrekkieMoto  2 года назад

      I know you aren't supposed to pick up a bike that way, but unfortunately I have issues with my knees that prevented me from doing it the proper way.

      Nah, we're totally cool. I did not read your comment as being harsh.
      What I'd like to do is get a little bit of off-road riding experience so I can get used to having the wheels move around under me. I've done a lot of riding but it's always been under good conditions where I haven't really had to think about it.

    Wow, glad you and the bike weren't more damaged! That's never fun - looks like it just lost traction, stopped, and slid out from under you while backing itself down the hill!
    Also, I'm glad you were able to get it upright and presumably ride it home. Stay safe! I avoid gravel for the same reasons... except my current bike is 2x the weight, so I do not look forward to ever having to lift that!

      I put my feet down but they slid just as quickly as front wheel. Momentum + Inertia = Facepalm

    Just a tip for you in the future. Keep power going to the rear wheel with frequent gentle revving when on a surface like that as it helps to keep the bike upright.
