How to deal with the need for full brakes during bicycle riding?
Physical coordination should be used reasonably when full braking is required during riding
When participating in riding activities, especially when the team is riding together, emergency full brakes are required when encountering emergencies. So how should we deal with the need for full brakes during bicycle riding?
When full braking is required, if the vehicle is not perpendicular to the road surface, or is first aligned with the direction of travel, the braking distance will become longer or the center of gravity will be unstable.
The editor said that the correct posture is to pull the waist back as far as possible and straighten the arms. Bending the elbow will cause the body to move forward, and the center of gravity will be unstable. At this time, you should keep your feet on the steady pedal to maintain balance, instead of tilting left and right to shift the center of gravity.
1. Using the front brake will produce a strong braking force
In order to produce a strong stopping resistance, the brakes should be fully braked. If the front and rear brakes are pulled with the same force, the rear wheels will be more likely to be locked and the braking distance will be longer.
2. Pull the waist as far as possible to prevent it from turning forward
If the front brake handle is pressed strongly, it may cause an accident when the car rolls forward. However, if the body's center of gravity is moved backwards quickly while braking, it can prevent the car and people from turning forward, and it can also increase the friction between the rear wheels and the ground, and make the wheels less likely to lock up.
This technique of using physical coordination to control the brakes can only be mastered after slow training, and can be used flexibly during cycling.
