[net.cycle] Backup down steep hills

jason@ucbopal.BERKELEY.EDU (Jason Venner) (01/04/86)

I have discovered an uncomfortable hole in my cycle riding skills.

Twice in the last few months I have found myself in a position where 
I have to back down a steep hill,  and turn around.  Both times I have had
a passenger,  and both times the cycle has overbalanced on me 
[while backing up and turning].

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to perform such actions with greater
safety?

Reply by mail,  and I will summarize.
