I think a Riding Tips section would be very subjective. What works for some, may not work for others. To create even further differences of opinion, we all have different bikes with different characteristics etc. We all ride differently.
Not taking anything away from attending bike courses, I think they are an excellent idea for those who wish to attend them. Example, some of us race and what we do on the track is not what Stay Upright or other very reputable bike courses teach.
Not saying that one's better than the other style. Nor am I saying just because you race you don't stop learning, shit, I've raced for over 25 years and still learning.
Racing is a very aggresive sort of race craft where most bike courses teach more of a defensive riding style to survive which is reinforced by actually practicing what they teach you, not really by just reading about it.
I think what we would end up with is a subject with 1000's of posts each with differences of opinions of what works for the author of the posts. I find myself, I learn and people learn more riding with other riders on ride days etc.
Just my opinion that's all.
