Braking and Crashes
Braking and Crashes★ As cycling enthusiasts, safety should always come first. As unexpected incidents in cycling, braking and crashes play significant roles. The last time I saw someone fall was about a month ago—the look of pain on their face and their fresh injuries left me shaken, but within minutes they had bounced back, shaking their head and perking up before setting off again. Later, during an evening drinking session, he revealed the truth: “I braked in time and managed to stay calm…” So here, Zhiqu introduces some basic techniques on braking and handling crashes—not to encourage stylish tumbles, but to help green-horn cyclists quickly regain control in emergencies and prevent mishaps before they happen.

Basic Mountain Biking Tips – When Is the Best Time to Shift Gears?
Generally speaking, bike cornering techniques vary depending on the type of bicycle. For example, in downhill (DH) biking, you can slide through corners, but this isn’t possible in road racing due to the specific nature of the competition. I’m not sure what type of bike you’re riding, but if you’re cycling on the road, taking an APEX approach through a corner—after passing the APEX, you can accelerate. During acceleration, shifting to a higher gear is normal. What I mean by shifting during a corner refers to situations where you chose the wrong gear before entering the corner, then realize mid-corner that your cadence is off—either too fast or too slow—and you make an emergency adjustment. Especially if you mistakenly used a higher gear when entering the corner, resulting in too low a cadence during the turn, and you quickly switch to a lower gear (of course, if you’re just casually riding around, even random shifting won’t cause any issues—but in a race where every 0.1 second counts, choosing the wrong gear becomes a more serious problem). This kind of shifting can easily lead to sudden torque changes, altering traction and causing instability in the bike’s dynamics.
