While riding the bike on more than one occasion, I have noticed a weird effect that I call now The Disappearing Bend. Every so often when I have come to a bend in the road, it feels like the bend has just melted away after I’ve gone around it and that there was no bend there at all. The way I like to take a bend, in the case of a left hand bend for instance, is to get the speed and gear sorted out before I lean into it, lean into the bend but staying wide until I can see the exit of the bend, then tip in towards the exit and gently accelerate out of the bend as I right the bike up. I then get this feeling of ‘Where’d that bend go?’
