RIDE FOR ONE HOUR AT RPE 6: Bike-handling skills can mean the difference between staying upright in tight situations and collecting some nasty abrasions (otherwise known as "road rash"). Hone your cornering skills in an empty parking lot by arranging 5 or 6 traffic cones in a slalom course and "running the gates." Another trick is to put the cones in a soft grassy field and work on these skills with friends. It's less painful to fall on grass, so you can push the envelope and develop your skills faster.
