You say that you tuck right in to the gutter and this is something I've been trying to do but I have a fear of being too close and it just doesn't feel comfortable or natural.
I think this is from when I fell off my bike. I had passed my test only a couple of months, saw the grass at the side of the road and before I knew it I was on it and came off. It was very low speed but it knocked me for a while.
I watch videos of advanced guys tucking in but I feel as though I'm still in the middle of my lane (well maybe not that bad) when I try it.
Can you give me any advice about this please. I feel when I turn in I move to the centre of the lane and can't hold the line, maybe I'm not looking in the right place I'm not sure.
I have no problem the other way round, going left seems natural and feels comfortable.
I know it isn't necessary to be in so close all the time but it is something I need to master for myself.
Hope this makes sense.
