Speed wobble

Okay, imagine you're riding your bike really fast down a hill. As you go faster, your bike starts to shake back and forth, like it's wobbling. That's called a speed wobble.

It happens because your wheels are spinning so quickly that small changes in your balance or the road surface can make them start to wobble.

It can be scary, but the good news is that there are ways to prevent a speed wobble. You can try slowing down a bit, or adjusting your weight distribution on the bike. It's also important to make sure your bike is in good condition and that your wheels are properly balanced.

Remember, it's always important to stay safe while riding your bike!
