Cycling safety

First, before riding on the car to maintenance and debugging
1, the shift to flexible.
In particular, we do not often use the dental plate of 1,2-speed conversion. If the problem up and down the mountain slope is very big headache.
2. Check the brake problem.
Brake line to see whether the change. Brake travel is appropriate, generally less than the stroke of the brake after the front brake. Also note that after a long time to adjust downhill, because when the brake cable may stretch, and after a big brake travel.
3, tire problems.
Go mountain use mountain tire (above 1.75), has been to ensure the stability of riding. V brake with friends to pay attention not to use a tube with a patch, in order to avoid prolonged high temperatures generated by braking the inner tire leak.
4, remove mud kicked and care to ensure safe riding.
5, pay attention to the chain and other routine maintenance.
Second, riding protective EQUIPMENT and measures
With particular emphasis to develop the habit of wearing a helmet, because whether it is in the plains or in the mountains may have crashed. Helmet is to protect our lives.
Other protective gear is necessary, such as gloves, trousers, ties and so on. In addition, the necessary equipment should also have outdoor survival, such as guides, enough water and food, first aid supplies and emergency medicines, stool Mountain boots, rope and even protection. Also do not forget to have enough power and phone calls. Clothing and rain gear is to be prepared.
Third, riding and safety requirements
Group travel, to use a word team type. This can not only show style team, better save your energy (with the ride can save 1/3 strength).
1 font motorcade travel, tacit understanding between the riders is important to have a rotation collar riding, with the rider in front of the riders should always pay attention to gestures, body changes and riding, to maintain a certain distance, not random overtaking, not unsteadiness and swing around, but not suddenly stop. Something needs to stop, it should slow down to the right and use gestures to inform with cycling friends. Be careful not to ride side by side and talk, avoid side riding side received a cell phone or listening to music.
City and rural riding, speed slower, appropriate to shorten the distance. Encountered intersections and corner, or the like to be together as a whole and then ride through, so as not to run loose and lost personnel. Pay close attention to vehicles, pedestrians and even animals (dogs, pigs, etc.) and other factors change, prepare for unexpected appears.
Downhill, especially in the mountains, to the appropriate lower saddle sit, keeping the center of gravity balance, spacing to pull sequentially grading. Turn or road conditions encountered complicated place, to slow down in advance, to avoid sudden braking, but not was a moment of courage, more than wild.
4, remove mud kicked and care to ensure safe riding.
Kick (bicycle parking comes with stand) and mud guard (fender) these two things is equipped with a risk. Many riders do not see these two riders will be equipped with relentless said that this means a professional too! In fact, they say half right, this is professional. Why did not these two things would profession? I talk about my views here!
Kicking and remove mud and other general care for road vehicles, mountain bikes and other high-speed operation and abnormal road off-road vehicles for the. Kicking and mud guard is their role, kicking the car can easily get support and care can effectively prevent sewage sludge and mud getting thrown to the body, but these two equipment also has its drawbacks and safety hazards. Kick
Kick drawbacks: bicycle kick supported by the fact, not very strong, and we can look closely, usually on the road rushing mighty wind, kicking supported by the bike and even a few electric cars and motorcycles can not stand still It does not fall. Then in the fall, when the vehicle is likely to damage your car's paint or cause damage to some parts even make parts scrapped, even if there is no wind, man rubs bump can dump your vehicle.
Kick security risks: kick is active on the bumpy road strong vibration of the vehicle is easy to make kicking yourself down, especially the already loose kicking long-term use. This way when you turn sideways or when the high-speed road between the protuberances once kicked open, kicking easily touch the ground and the rear wheel of the bicycle overhead you causing loss of vehicle control and crash.
So I generally do not recommend installation of riders kicking, especially like the high-speed riding and off-road riders. Please stop your vehicle when tilted to the left down. Note: it must be on the left, because the right side of the vehicle is vulnerable rear derailleur, and pour into the vehicle to the left to lift the car to facilitate your vehicle and step onto the left (right-handed no more, right?)! Also equipped with disc brakes friends attention discs do not collide protuberances ground when your car down to the left to prevent the disc by external deformation.
Nursing care mud
Mud guard drawbacks: 1 guard mud is a certain area, it will increase the cross sectional area of intangibles of your vehicle, thereby increasing the drag of the vehicle in motion, causing you to consume more energy.
2. The gap between the wheel guard mud and small, when the vehicle in which wet mud riding, wheels brought up dirt easily fill up this space and produce consumed rider's physical resistance.
Mud guard security risks: general care mud will do thin and wide, production of materials, mostly steel, aluminum, plastics, resins and other materials with a certain hardness. This is much like a blade was not open knife. That it is a sharp protrusions on the vehicle. Unfortunately, when the rider fell when the car, then the kinetic energy is great, this sharp protuberances in the huge capacity of the kinetic energy is cut your skin, especially in the summer car faithful wear very little, naked body In the outside part of the lot. My left leg above the knee and now there is a time to learn to drive early by 22-inch wheels in front mud guard stroller scar left unspoken.
Touring as a slow moving vehicle on the highway and more than you can consider installing mud kicked and care, but usually must pay a lot of attention to the situation of these two parts to see whether loose in case of emergency!
