- It’s What We Do
A lot of riders find standing up difficult, and usually it’s because they have the bike set up for comfort and control while seated. A few tweaks here and there can make a huge difference and standing up can make life a whole lot easier. Craig Hartley offers the benefit of his many years of experience.
You get to see a real variety of rider styles over the years, especially while doing cornerman duty on adventure rides.
A couple of things have stood out to me when looking at other riders, and one is how uncomfortable some look when they’re trying to stand up and ride. Another is how many people just don’t stand up because it feels so unnatural.
