Re: New Rider with a question
Try relaxing your grip on the handlebars. It's common for new riders to ride with the "death grip". At slow speed a tight grip and stiff arms makes the bike wobble and harder to control. I used to weave a little from side to side when coming to stops. Someone pointed out that I was tightening my arms when braking. Keeping my arms relaxed and my grip as loose as possible made all the difference. Smooth as glass after that.
