Had a chat with a trainee after her 1st lesson.
This is what I picked up: Fear acknowledged & Risk managed.
With this mindset, the right foundation is being built.

MAY IS THE MONTH OF MOTORCYCLE SAFETY AWARENESS THE WORLD OVER.
Gear Shift Academy is partnering with the DVLA to put riders first — because safety isn’t optional, it’s the standard.
Ride smart. Ride legal. Ride safe. 🏍️🇬🇭

Emergency braking on a motorcycle is all about controlling the bike to stop quickly and safety.
1. Apply both brakes: Use both front and rear brakes together for maximum effect. The front brake does most of the work (about 70%).
2. Gradual pressure: Squeeze the brakes smoothly but firmly to avoid locking the wheels.
3. Body position: Keep your body upright and eyes focused ahead to maintain balance.
4. Avoid panic: Stay calm and think ahead to steer clear off obstacles after stopping.
Tip: Practice in a safe area with cones to get the feel of emergency braking.
One step at a time.
PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION!
