As posted to rec.misc. bicycle:
I'm taking a "Street Skills for Cyclists" course. The final day of it
is this weekend, and calls for me to complete a 15 mile group ride.
It's bad enough that I'm the only fat rider on a comfort bike in this
group, but an even worse problem is that my bike wobbles when I
attempt to signal. I can't remove my left hand for more than a second
or two without beginning to lose control. Is there an easy solution,
or is it something obvious I am not doing? HELP!
I'm enjoying riding despite all the problems associated with the bike
learning curve. But I am looking forward to the day I don't have to
enjoy it despite beginner's difficulties.

A right hand Krom Death Grip will certainly cause you some issues. The bike is like a horse, a gentle touch gets results while a harsh touch will get you kicked.
Hey, good luck on your riding! It's a very addictive sport, it just takes a bit of courage to get in shape at the beginning. Hope to see you on the area trails!
Thank you both, "gauss" and "uncadan." I do unfortunately keep the bike in a death grip. Something else to work on....
