Uh-oh… Here comes the great break-in debate.
Do some searching on proper breakin procedures for modern bikes.
I am of the ride it like it’s going to be ridden group, not the reccomended by manual group. Research and decide which you believe and ride appropriatly.
I don’t think anyone will call the cops if your in a lot practicing, and even if they did I’m sure the cops would give you a pat on the back for practicing (given that your legal) You’re not out there doing stoppies, highchairs, heel clicks and burnouts!
I’m not sure what your development or city is like, but you just need an open area big enough to give you room to do practice manuevers, no gravel, slopes, curbs. If you have to hit the road to get there then that’s what you got to do. Maybe pack a backpack with “cones” half cut tennis balls, frisbee, something to mark your points.
Picks of new bike always make a thread better ***hint hint***
