I'm sure it's down to experience. Lack thereof. The problem is that now I've had two tumbles my confidence is kinda shot. I'll do loads of sharp bends and stuff perfectly happy then I'll get to a corner, even at low speed, and just freak that there is some gravel or grit there. In the time it takes for me to get my composure back it's too late. It is, to me, important to note that both of my tumbles have been at low speed, we're talking 5-10 mph so hopefully some expert tuition will help me to handle these things.
I know people are trying to help but I need biking. My life is low, I'm depressed, riding makes me happy. With a 3 year old boy and a 3 week old boy I need to make sure that I practise on a track or something to rebuild my confidence but safely. Expert tuition may be an answer but I don't like the idea of learning on the road (although I know that is where most of the learning comes from)
I don't ride like a madman, I am generally safe, considerate and have foresight, forward thinking etc. I just don't have the experience or confidence imo.

Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one. Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.
