During the cycling process, you often encounter poor road conditions, pedestrians suddenly appear and other uncertainties, the first reaction of the cyclists should be an immediate brake, because of personal riding experience is different, in case of unexpected circumstances, we are Should you brake before or after the brake? This is related to the safety of riding, so it must establish the correct concept.
Due to the great difference in design between sports bikes and common commuter bicycles, excessive brake control can easily cause lock-up. Some new bicycles will be affixed to the top of the car: "Note: First brake, then brake before the brake" warning signs. This warning cannot be said to be wrong, but it cannot be regarded as truth. Because this sign is mainly aimed at amateurs who have been in contact with bicycles soon, in order to prevent new drivers from controlling the error in the event of an emergency, the force of the front brake is too great, causing the front wheel to lock up and run over.
The first brake and then the brake, and then the front brake brake method, in the flat road or the uphill section, generally do not cause too much danger. However, if you enter the forest road, or ride in the mountains, the use of this braking method may cause danger.
In general: "Biking, the front brake is an effective brake, and the rear brake is used to assist in the control of speed." Many veteran bike players and experts advise: Amateur bicycle leisure families, when traveling to mountain roads or unfamiliar road sections, In addition to responding to changes, we must also have a correct concept of driving. Many amateur teams or riders who have been in contact with bicycles have not received any professional guidance or training, and they have had the courage to ride on the mountain road or on the forest road. They have difficulty in safety and even mistakenly go on the road and are likely to cause danger. of.
Many people know that when the speed exceeds 10 kilometers, the rear brakes will be used even if the straight line will flick their tails, and they will be thrown even more when turning, and even if they turn over, they will not flick their tails with the front brake. Will go straight, so it is recommended that bicycle leisure family can consider the usual cycling process, you can use 70% of front brakes and 30% of rear brakes when training the brakes. More simply, "the rear brake is only auxiliary, help slow down."
At the same time, besides paying attention to the brakes, you should also make good use of the convex mirror on the curve to see if there is a coming vehicle. In addition, helmets and gloves are necessary equipment.
It's better to fall with people and cars when you fall. Because the wheels are like airbags, they will hit the front object first. The handle can protect the shoulders, and the pedals protect the thighs and reduce the chance of injury.
