16.01.2022 tip No 22 Braking The most efficient technique is to apply your rear brake a moment before the front. This allows the rider’s weight to be transferred to the front wheel which then does most of the heavy braking without locking up. Experiment applying the front brake gently to get used to the ‘feel’ of the brake lever.
14.01.2022 Tip No 23 Cornering For best tyre adhesion transfer your weight to the pedal on the outside of the turn. This reduces the degree of tilt of the bicycle

10.01.2022 Tip No 24 Steering - A bicycle steers by weight transfer rather than a turn of the handlebars. If your bicycle does not ride straight and true when you lift your hands off the handlebars then you have a steering problem. Mechanical problems relating to steering include Looseness in the shock absorbers Loose or worn steering bearings Both of these problems can be tested for by standing over the bicycle, applying the front brake and ‘rocking’ the bike back and forth. A knocking feel and sound will be felt if there is a problem. While there is no remedy for shocks on cheap bikes (they cannot be serviced and are too expensive to replace). Bearings can be tightened or, if damaged, replaced.
03.01.2022 Tip no 25 MTB tyres The most common misunderstanding among casual cyclists is that a ‘chunky’ tyre is safer. Unless you are a serious off roader or long distance cross country rider they are a poor choice. Advantages of tyres with a ‘road tread’ on hard surfaces include 1. Better braking more rubber on the road and less tyre ‘flex’. 2. Running at higher pressures (up to 80psi on good quality tyres) resulting in less rolling resistance and being able to cruise between 1 and 2 gears higher. 3. Better cornering since the ‘knobbles’ flex and ‘walk’ around a corner rather than rolling. The only disadvantages are a slightly harsher ride and a little less grip off-road.
