Slalom Run

Rolled down the porch steps onto the smooth concrete patio. No obstacles to clear this morning. I wanted hard data on low-speed cornering limits. I set four dry pinecone caps along a straight expansion seam, spaced two bike lengths apart. Mounted up, clicked into gear, and initiated tight alternating sweeps around each marker. The knobby rubber protested with a sharp chirp against the masonry, but the side lugs bit into the aggregate. Six consecutive figure-eights executed without dabbing either boot onto the ground. Center of gravity locked. Lateral stability confirmed.
