Today was my first chance to ride. I found that stepping out at a deliberate angle as opposed to stepping out straight seemed to feel more secure to me. I was kind of angling in the direction of motion. Stepping between a moving and non moving surface took a little getting used to. I loved the ride though. I still don’t think I would ride in the summer, because my gondola on the last leg of my journey tonight didn’t have much airflow and was kind of stuffy, so I figure it would be bad for me in the summer. But for my winter trips, it’s great.
