As mountain bikes are often cycling o rugged and uneven roads, requiring athletes to master certain mountain bike cross-country skills in order to deal with them safely. The following are some summaries of some practical mountain bike cross-country skills, quickly collect them. First, When the road is inclined On sloping road sections and steep slopes towards the edge of a cliff, if you use brakes or make large movements of movement control, the tires may lose their grip and slip off the edge of the road. 1. To make a turn, use a side-tilted body to replace a leaning bicycle. The greater the inclination of the road is like the greater the curvature, the force is the same, and then you know that your tires will be sticky like glue and slide out. 2. Avoid accelerating on the sloping down path. Before arriving, keep a certain speed and slide across the road. If you have to apply a little more force to pass, please apply the force gently and smoothly. 3. Put all the weight of the body on the pedal under the slope, the wheel stick can hold the road well. 4. Choose the middle route and avoid squeezing to the top of the slope. Second, When the road is a rocky area 1. Be prepared to change the route at any time and look at the front of the stone before the front wheel, so as to avoid the front wheel being left aside. If it suddenly pops out of the original route, keep your sight on the originally planned route. , Pedal as smoothly as possible so that you can bounce back to the originally planned route at any time. 2. At low speeds, the up and down vibration caused by the road surface and the suspension system will consume a lot of kinetic energy. If you hit a big rock at a speed similar to walking, it will cause you to stop moving, so you must maintain a certain speed, Stabilize the upper body. 3. If the front wheel is blocked, try to keep pedaling. Usually, this will allow the bicycle to move back a little bit, which will give you the opportunity to choose the path beside you to continue riding and don’t look back. 4. Increase the pedaling position by one gear so that when obstacles are encountered, the rear wheels can be prevented from slipping. 5. Choose a good route early and choose the least bad one. When hitting a rock, try to keep the wheel perpendicular to it. 6. If you want to pass a rocky area on a downhill section, avoid using the brakes as much as possible. The best way is to pass the entire area by sliding. 7. If the brakes must be used, the front and rear brakes must be used at the same time, and when the rock is small and the control is relatively stable, when encountering a large rock or running out of the planned route, the brake must be released. Third. Get into a rift 1. Deliberately ride in small and parallel groove ruts to practice, and get used to the balance of the bike. 2. Keep the front wheel in a rolling state, look at the front intently, relax your body, and allow the wheel to move sideways when it suddenly enters the grooved rut. 3. Before running over a large groove rut, try to stretch out one foot. If the curve of the groove is on your right, stretch out your right foot, and vice versa. Keep your posture, lean slightly backward, and use more rear brakes than usual. If you overuse the front brakes, you will not be able to control chaotic grooves. 4. If you lose your balance, don’t forget to tap with your extended foot. Just make sure that one foot is kept on the pedal and you will pass the bumpy road safely and unharmed. Fourth. Sand riding 1. Follow the trajectory of other mountain bike riders and let the tires ride into the straight rut path that has been crushed to cross the sand. When keeping the tires in the rut, pedal as smoothly as possible, and gently hold the handlebars so that the entire control follows the rut trajectory. 2. Use body movements to avoid oversteer of the handlebar. Excessive steering will cause the front wheels to get stuck in the sand. 3. Keep your hips gently on the seat cushion, keep your body’s center of gravity between the two tires, look directly at the end of the sand, use the low gear to move forward, but use the middle front tooth disc, which can have a longer time The powerful stampede. 4. Every time you turn the pedal, keep straight down. Between the strong pedaling pulse, make good use of the dead point of pedaling to bounce your body up to help the tires go up and reduce the unevenness on the sand. Fifth. Climbing a steep slope 1. When approaching a slope, use a small front chainring and a rear gear that is two levels higher than the gear you want to complete the slope. When the kinetic energy is exhausted, downshift earlier. 2. Maintain a sitting position. When you reach the steepest road, move your hips forward to sit at the forefront of the cushion, and tilt your upper body forward so that the front wheels can grasp the ground and have proper control (the body should not be too forward, which will cause the rear wheel to slip), and do not stand up. 3. If the rear wheel slips a little, don’t stop, simply tilt the upper body slightly away from the slope to ballast the rear wheel and continue pedaling. 4. When reaching the apex, most climbers will lean forward due to their bodies. When they cross the top edge, the rear wheels will slip. They should lean back slightly to keep the rear wheels biting the ground.
Numb hands may ruin your cycling career. Because of the numbness, the bicycle will lack control during the cycling process, causing unexpected danger. A common type of hand numbness is cyclist palsy, which is what we usually call grip numbness. It is caused by compression of the ulnar nerve or the median nerve of the hand. Knowing the reason, let’s set out to solve the grip palsy. 1. Where is the handheld on the handlebar The ulnar nerve enters the palm from the wrist and is located near the little finger and ring finger. When held in the upper position, it will be placed on the ulnar nerve. If enough pressure is applied to the nerve, it will make your ring finger and little finger numb. The median nerve that enters the hand passes through the wrist from the ulnar nerve and the root of the thumb. With too much pressure you will feel numbness in your index and middle fingers, which may be accompanied by numbness in the ulna. 2. Resolve numbness of the grip Make sure your hands are natural when touching the handlebars. Any movement of over-extension of the wrist will directly compress the hand nerves and cause numbness. Pay attention to properly relaxing your hands on the handlebars, and keep your nerves as open as possible. Change the position of your hands on the handlebars during cycling. On a road bike with a handlebar, if you feel your hands are numb, changing the position will reduce the pressure on the base of your palm. Because of the position of the handlebar, it may be a little difficult to do this on a flat handlebar. If you have been cycling a flat-handle bike, you will often have symptoms of hand numbness. It is recommended that you add a pair of vices. Remember the correct grip position. It is not correct to hold it perpendicular to the ground. You should face the direction of the bicycle and relax your wrists naturally. Wearing gloves can also help relieve the symptoms of hand paralysis, or you can wrap the strap a few more times. It is best to use gloves with gel pads. Try putting on gloves first to make sure it is the right size. Too loose gloves will cause blisters, while too tight gloves will aggravate the symptoms of numbness, some oversized pads will also focus on the palm of the hand, causing numbness Moving the seat down and back can also reduce the pressure on the hand. (Imagine the position of the seat of a lady’s bicycle. It is theoretically feasible.) If you really want to do this, be aware that changes in the height of the seat will change the cycling posture, which will lead to changes in other parts of the body. Therefore, if you want to use this method to relieve hand numbness, you must proceed step by step. If the above solutions do not work, you should find a professional technician to do bike fitting to adjust your position. In addition, you may want to find a professional neurologist to help you see what is causing your paralysis. They can help you stay away from the numbness. 3.nervous system Understand that the nervous system will cause numbness in the handgrip, so you can prescribe the right medicine and adjust your posture in a targeted manner. These simple corrections are very effective and simple. If the problem cannot be cured, it is recommended to do a comprehensive professional inspection, so that you can truly control your cycling and stay away from paralysis. Reminder: Try to put the weight on the periphery of the palm instead of the center of the palm.
The Cycling mountain bike has always been a game for the brave. It is common to see cyclists shouting “Don't counsel, just do it!” to encourage novices to take risks. The result is “Crash-Fracture-Sell the bicycle-Retreat” Are the ideas that have been passed down in the Cycling mountain bike circle right? Today we will break them one by one! Rumor 1: Self-study is the best-learn through practice The cycling mountain bike is a sport that requires skill, just like tennis, golf, and skiing. Specifically, many technical actions of mountain bikes have right and wrong methods. Most people rely on their own groping to practice skills. They think that the so-called riding skills are what they like and feel good. These people think that only rookies need guidance. The problem is that many experienced drivers are wrong because what they taught themselves from the beginning is wrong. In fact, the more mature the development of Cycling mountain bikes, the more attention is paid to the cultivation of basic riding skills. Rookie cyclists can greatly improve their riding skills by receiving instruction and teaching, and mountain bike coaching has become a viable profession. . Can you imagine self-taught tennis, swimming, or golf? You may be a genius, or you may be lucky, but it is very possible you did it wrong in the first place, and if so, you will spend three times the time to correct it. Therefore, whether it is through group lessons, one-on-one guidance, or through friends, or even instructional videos and books, the results will be very different. One obvious aspect is that if the cyclist knows how to properly control the bicycle, he can avoid some unavoidable crashes, skin bruises, and fractures. The difficulties of Cycling mountain bikes include steep lanes, unfriendly rocks, out-of-control ruts, annoying tree roots, and the biggest enemy corners. If you use the wrong technique or lose concentration, any of these factors may slap the cyclist on the ground and rub. The cycling mountain bike is not a dangerous sport in itself. Wrong riding skills and risky behaviors that blindly challenge beyond one’s own level are the most dangerous. Don’t think about “going to ride” and it’s OK. Gradual procedures and mastering the correct riding skills are king. Rumor 2: This is not a problem with the Mountain bike, but a problem with the cyclist. Only those who are very proficient in cycling would say this. It may also be people who hate high-tech and don’t want to spend money on upgrading equipment, cycling their seriously outdated mountain bikes, and persuading themselves not to change equipment (except for retro-feeling players). The updated iteration speed of mountain bikes is much faster than that of road bikes and commuter bikes. The top mountain bikes ten years ago will also appear out of date today, and even difficult to complete today’s difficult races. But for most mountain bikers, mountain bikes play a very critical role in cycling fun, performance, and safety. Let the same cyclist ride on a $300 bicycle and a $1200 bicycle, the cycling experience is definitely different. On a $1,200 mountain bike, the cyclist will be faster, safer, and ride happier. Of course, when the price and performance reach the optimal point, the income will diminish. But before that, every dollar spent would be a big gain. But after that, no amount of money may only improve performance by 10%. The development of many things follows this law of diminishing marginal returns. Compared with a mountain bike of USD 500, a mountain bike of 5,000 dollars has a huge performance improvement; however, when comparing mountain bikes of $5,000 and $6,000, ordinary people will probably not experience much difference in cycling. By the same token, if you buy a 15-year-old full-suspension bike and a brand new full-suspension bike worth $3,000 at the same price, the same cyclist will have a better ride on the new full-suspension bike Line experience. A cycling mountain bike is a dynamic and evolving knowledge. In the past ten years, bicycle design has made great progress. In addition, many different types of mountain bikes have now evolved into different cycling methods, and different cycling types have very different feelings. Does the cyclist also matter? Of course, we believe that the cyclist is still the main part of the overall performance. But we must not ignore the important role of the bicycle itself in this sport, and its ability to make the cyclist feel comfortable, safe, and constantly improving. Rumor 3: Only downhill players need to wear knee pads and protective gear Most people don’t wear knee pads because they are bulky and feel that the crash is far away from them. But the problem is that only God knows when and where to fall during an unknown, dangerous ride. When the terrain and friction are constantly changing, and ground debris and obstacles interfere with the control, the crash is uninvited. Accidental crashes are not a problem of chance but a problem of frequency. It always happens. Never use your body to make an impossible gamble. Another unknown factor is that most crashes occur on simple and familiar routes, usually due to the cyclist’s inattention. As the so-called “ship overturned in the gutter”, routes that are too familiar often make cyclists feel self-righteous and lose concentration. Any rut or curve may cause a crash, and sometimes it may be a serious crash because the cyclist is completely unprepared and will be pressed hard on the ground and rubbed, rubbed, rubbed… The good news is that technology has kept up with the pace of Cycling mountain bikes, and now there are many types of knee pads and protective gear. The most exciting thing is that Lindau and XC cyclists can use lighter protective gear. In riding especially when climbing hills, knee pads are the best choice. In the event of a crash, the protective gear can protect your knees intact. It’s a beautiful day without injury, right? Rumor 4: Those who use the lifting seat tube are novices who can’t use the downward tilting technique Similarly, this misconception is also preached by old stubborn people who think they have perfected their riding skills 20 years ago. This is another example of refusing to learn new things after getting used to old technical ideas and riding habits. They often say, “I never lower the Seatpost post during a ride. What use do I want this iron rod for?” Lowering the seat bag during steep descents is only a small part of the advantages of the lifting seat tube. In addition, the lifting seat tube can effectively prevent the cyclist’s center of gravity from tilting forward, but the role of the lifting seat tube is much more than that. Because the lifting seat tube also plays an important role in turning. Lowering the height of the seat tube allows the cyclist to move the center of gravity freely. This is a very important riding technique. Instantly lower the center of gravity to get an extra grip to quickly corner. The body is like an energy ball, at the critical moment to achieve the integration of people and bicycles: when going down a steep slope, the center of gravity is moved backward and pressed on the rear wheels to prevent the handle from falling off, and when climbing a steep slope, the center of gravity is tilted forward to prevent heads. When you turn on a gravel road without traction, stand up, and ride, then you will find that a lower seat will reduce bumps and increase traction. These techniques are possible because of the lifting seat tube. When the seat bag can be raised and lowered freely, cycling will be easier, safer, and more effective. If you are not after a performance or aggressive riding style, you can also consider the safety brought by the lower lift seat tube. This is safer, allows people to learn and progress better, and accept more challenging terrain. Rumor 5. After graduation from the Rookie stage, you need to upgrade to lock pedal Cycling with a locking pedal is easy for those master cyclists, but it is a huge burden for beginners and intermediate cyclists. Novices should first use flat pedals to learn pedaling. When they have enough experience and confidence, they can switch to locked pedaling. But is it really so? Is it necessary to be a master to be locked? On the contrary, if cyclists want to participate in high-level XC or endurance races, they can choose to lock pedals. In cross-country races and long endurance races, mountain bikes using lock pedals are much faster, because the combination of lock pedals and lock shoes is lighter and harder, and the feet are always kept in the best pedaling position, unlike Flat pedaling wastes time looking for the best pedaling position. Sprinting with locked pedals is also an advantage because the cyclist can increase pedaling efficiency and focus on using more leg muscles to sprint to keep a safe pedaling without losing the foot. However, there are many problems with the locked pedals, including the possibility of injury during the process of learning to use the locked pedals; the separation of people and bicycle when it is too late to unlock at a dangerous moment; and having to wear the locked pedals to climb mountains or enter the restaurant is very uncomfortable. Regardless of the competitive environment, ordinary people, especially mountain biker cyclists who are committed to mountain bike technical action practice, can choose flat pedals or lock pedals according to their needs. It makes sense to choose the appropriate equipment when appropriate. The good news is that now cyclists are free to choose whether they are learning to ride or master. Rumor 6. You should learn how to cycle a hardtail mountain bike correctly Hardtail mountain bikes are great for beginners, not only because there are many cheap models to choose from, but they also have a good “price/weight ratio”, but the scope of application of hardtail mountain bikes on fierce racetracks is really good. Limited, over-range use will make your cycling painful or even crash. However, it is nonsense to preach that all beginners should use a hardtail to learn the correct cycling technique. This is equivalent to saying that a person should learn to drive on the track with a truck in order to learn correct cycling skills. At least one thing is true: the cyclist will find the correct lane trajectory in the face of a huge impact. But it also has many mistakes, and the same reasoning applies to learning how to use a hard fork, rim brake, or single-speed mountain bike. This suggestion is terrible. Using inappropriate equipment to learn cycling skills will only slow down the learning speed and increase cycling risk factors. cyclists cannot quickly cycle on challenging terrain, making mistakes can cause crashes and even injuries. The ideal model is a full-suspension mountain bike with 120mm front and rear suspension travel. Equipped with a lifting seat tube will make the learning process more efficient. Of course, full-suspension mountain bikes are not cheap and not everyone can afford them. Choose a hardtail mountain bike you can afford to equip with a widened cross-country tire (2.8 or even wider) and a lift seat tube. This method is very good. Rumor 7. this is all market hype and nonsense Many great mountain bike innovations, suspension, disc brakes, seat tube, 1x transmission, and tubeless tire system have been considered by many to be marketing hype, including the evolution of the 26, 27.5, and 29 wheel diameters are also “conspiracy theories” “We commented on the depot’s means of collecting money. These have really improved the cyclist’s experience and ability in the actual riding process. But I also understand the criticisms about the incompatibility brought by the ever-changing hub specifications and BB standards. So, what rumors have you heard about Cycling mountain bikes? What detours have you taken? May wish to leave a message to share your experience!
Learn how to take your own measurements - use a measuring tape and a level to accurately measure the various components of your bike. When it comes to mountain biking, finding the right frame size for your body is essential. To ensure you get a bike that fits perfectly and offers you the best riding experience possible, it's important to take accurate measurements of your body and compare them with a mountain bike frame sizing chart. This article will provide step by step instructions on how to measure a mountain bike frame. First, you'll need to measure your height and inseam length. To measure your height, stand straight with your back against a wall and use a measuring tape or ruler to measure from the top of your head down to the floor. For the inseam measurement, stand up straight and have someone help you measure from your crotch to the floor. Make sure to record both measurements in inches. Next, you'll need to measure your mountain bike frame size. To do this, you'll use a measuring tape and a level, as well as the height and inseam measurements you recorded earlier. Start by measuring the top tube length of the frame, which is the distance between the seat tube and head tube. Then measure the seat tube length, which runs from the bottom bracket to the top of the seat tube. Finally, measure the standover height, which is the measurement from where your crotch rests on top of the frame when standing over it with feet apart. Once you have all of your measurements, you can compare them to a mountain bike frame sizing chart. This will help you determine what size frame is best for your body type and riding style. It's important to note that every brand has their own sizing charts so make sure to consult the appropriate chart for your specific bike. Taking these measurements can seem intimidating at first, but with practice and a few helpful tips it can become second nature. This article has provided an overview of how to measure a mountain bike frame and how to compare your measurements to the appropriate sizing chart. With accurate measurements, you'll be well on your way to finding the perfect fit for your next mountain biking adventure.Good luck!
99% of cyclists have experienced a puncture halfway through. Especially in the long-distance bicycle cycling, the tire puncture problem is encountered in a place where is the middle of nowhere It is conceivable to feel depressed. Long-distance cycling experience, let me sum up some experience. It’s best not to ride alone, you must bring a spare tire when you start, and you must master some tire repair skills and bring tire repair tools. There is no spare tire, no repair tools, no companions, and there is a tire blowout problem in a wilderness. At that time, I can only pray to meet passer to save you. At the same time, I also summed up some experience in preventing tire blowouts during cycling. First, you can cut the unnecessary inner tube broken belly pad between the inner and outer tires, cut off the discarded inner tube air nozzle, and then cut it from the inner ring along with the tire. Note that it is not shear the tire! The principle is that use the old tires pack new tires to increase the thickness of our tires, which can increase the strength of the tires! After cutting it, wrap the old tire on the new tire and put it in again, wrapping all the parts in contact with the ground. Second, clean the tires in time, and check whether iron nails, glass slag, and other debris are stuck on the tires. Because if this debris remains on the tire, it will cause continuous tire bursts. Third, you can avoid the glass slag on the road. If you can’t avoid it, press it over, don’t pinch the brake. Fourth, the tires must be fully inflated, but not too full. If you have an air cylinder with a barometer, please hit it close to the air pressure number marked on the tire. If there is no barometer, feel it with your fingers. Generally speaking, road bikes have to be hit until the tires cannot be pinched completely with fingers. The mountain bike can be squeezed until it is hit, but it is very, very hard. The benefits of high tire pressure are obvious. The tires are hard, many sharp stones, broken glass and the like will be bounced away after being hit, and cannot be inserted. Greatly reduces the chance of being pierced.
Do you know the basic knowledge of bicycle brakes? 1. The brake is used to control speed, not just for parking. 2. The front brake has a better braking effect. 3. The brake has the maximum braking effect when it is locked, and the braking performance is greatly reduced after locking and it is easy to lose balance. Many novices prefer to use the rear brake and use the front brake less because they are worried that using the front brake will cause somersaults. In fact, the front brake is safer in many situations, and learning to use the front brake can also be learned quickly. Why do we mainly use front brakes? 1. The front brake will have a better braking effect. The control speed is mainly dependent on the friction between the wheels and the road. The friction is directly proportional to the pressure applied by the wheels to the road. When using the front brake, due to the inertia, the pressure on the front wheels and the road will increase and the braking effect will increase. The rear brake has no such effect, and when the front brake is used, the pressure of the rear wheel on the road surface is greatly reduced, and the friction becomes very small. 2. When going downhill, only the front brake can have sufficient braking force, because most of the weight of the bike and the human body is on the front wheels and the friction between the front wheels and the road surface increases. The rear wheel has very little pressure on the road, and the friction is reduced. The braking effect is very poor, and the rear wheel will lock and skid with a small braking force. How much have you mastered using the braking practice? 1. The brake lever of a general mountain bike is a two-finger brake lever. When riding, put your index and middle fingers on it, and you can brake immediately if there is an emergency. Many riders also set aside their index finger to shift gears, and only use the middle finger to control the brakes, so that shifting and braking can be performed at the same time. 2. The first thing we learn is the control of braking force. Gradually become familiar with how much braking force can be achieved by applying how much force to control the braking effect and prevent locking. After you are familiar with the relationship between braking force and braking effect, you can use the front brake with confidence. 3. You can master the front braking technique by practicing fast parking, paying attention to the change of the body’s center of gravity and controlling it when braking. What should be paid attention to when using the front brake? 1. In an emergency stop, your body should move backward and downward in conjunction with the brake, so as to prevent the forward inertia of the center of gravity during braking, which may cause the rear wheel to lift or even fly out. 2. When the front wheels are turning, you should not use the front brakes. After you are skilled, you can use the front brakes slightly. 3. When there are obstacles ahead, try to avoid using the front brake.
I have just been in contact with road bikes for a few months, and I have come out of my ignorance and practice of rocking bicycles. The first point of rocking a bicycle must be understood and not wrong. “My biggest mistake is to step on the left side when rocking the bicycle, and the whole body will go to the left”, so if you don’t understand or don’t understand, you must not rock the bicycle wrongly. Fortunately, I met a famous teacher to help me correct it, otherwise, it will appear sooner or later. Danger. Now let’s talk about how to rock a bicycle and how to rock a road bike! 1. Lock pedals, lock shoes, and lock: Whether you are an experienced person or a novice, the most heard sentence is, don’t play a road bike unless it is locked. I will give two examples of reasons: 1): The front wheel of a road bike is close to the chainring. If it is not locked, if your foot is slightly longer or in the middle and back position when turning, it is easy to rub the front wheel and fall. Of course, this chance is very small, but it’s not impossible, I hope everyone will pay attention) 2): When cycling for a long time or climbing hills and cycling on bumpy roads, if you do not lock your shoes, it is easy to slip. Example: I was waiting for the traffic light when I didn’t lock my shoes, and accidentally slipped my left foot and hit my leg. It was all blue and it hurt.) Therefore, the necessary conditions for the road bike to shake bicycle must be locked. The above is a summary of my personal experience and must be locked. Of course, many experienced people will say “muscle correction” and other high-level words, which are very reasonable. I just give you an easy-to-understand suggestion. 2. What’s the role of the rocking bicycle: The premise is that if you don’t know the role of the rocking bicycle, then you have to look here. Remember, don’t ignorantly think that rocking a bicycle is a cool thing, “I thought so too.” Someone with experience told me some time ago that the role of non-professional bicycle hand-cranked bike is just that. 1): After cycling for a long time, buttocks burp panic. If you shake the bicycle for a while, it will help the blood circulation in the crotch. The most important thing is that the experienced cyclists said “can effectively avoid prostatitis”, indicating that he did not understand, but he still feels good and bad) 2): Rocking the bicycle uphill is the most common. I have also tried to sit uphill, but in terms of confidence and strength, it is more comfortable to rock the bicycle uphill in the end. I don’t understand why, how comfortable it is anyway Come on) 3): The most common attack in the Tour de France is to sprint the bicycle. This is against the sky. I haven’t learned it yet. I heard it is quite dangerous. And as a recreational rider, learn if you have the opportunity, there is no need to make yourself like a professional rider) 3. Practical technology of rocking bicycle: According to my own experience and the guidance of experienced cyclists, I have also summed up such a few tips on rocking. In fact, it is similar to many rocking experiences. I think no matter how difficult the technique is, as long as you pierce this layer of window paper, there is no secret at all. The main thing is that if someone can take you, you have the confidence to complete it. 1): Bow forward, step on the right foot, and rock the body to the left, vice versa, move the body vertically up and down “Don’t lean”, use the most familiar words “the bicycle shakes the person without shaking”. ) Note: It’s impossible to succeed in one shot. Try it slowly and shake it out. I feel that it is really difficult to learn. 4. the gear ratio of the rocking bicycle: Sometimes the rocking bicycle feels weak or empty, and it is easy to understand that “no feeling at all, no power on the feet”. If you understand, try changing the gear ratio. Tip: Be sure to position your gear ratio according to your foot strength. (On flat roads, use slightly heavier gears according to your own foot strength. It is easy to understand that “the front gear depends on your physical strength, and the rear gear changes from large to small, whichever feels heavier.”) (When going uphill, the gears are changed from small or medium to big gear in turn. If you change to big gear, you can rock the bicycle. This depends on my own habit, I have no choice but to “I can’t step on it.” When I don’t know how to rock the bicycle, the uphill road bike is not a grade problem than the mountain bike. If you understand it, like it, the codeword is hard) 5. Cautions for rocking: It is recommended that you rock the bicycle when driving straight on a flat road and when you go uphill. In heartbreaking situations such as curves, downhills, crowds, complex terrain, potholes, etc. Ride slowly and honestly. Remember: rocking a bicycle is a means and cannot be used blindly.
Now cycling has gradually become a healthy lifestyle. Not only do men love cycling, but more and more female friends are doing the same. Now let’s talk about the benefits of female cycling! 1. Lose weight and lose weight, comparable to open hang Cycling is also aerobic exercise, and it has a rare advantage over jogging and brisk walking, which are highly regarded as the king of fat-reducing exercises: aerobic cycling lasts for more than 30 minutes, and then it starts to achieve effective combustion. The effect of fat, and the consumption of fat is systemic. It is not because of cycling the leg muscles that you can only use the leg muscles. Long-distance aerobic exercise more than 3 times a week, plus the right diet, can achieve The effect of weight loss! 2. Get used to cycling, self-cultivation, and shaping Long-term and regular cycling will bring you a strong muscle curve, slender and sexy ankles, tight arms, abdomen, back, etc., which is far more enduring than a diet party with a haggard face and bulging veins. 3. Improve physical fitness and stay away from illness Is it because the weather changes abnormally to catch a cold, or if someone catches a cold and you catch a cold, the thick nasal sounds that often appear make others mistakenly think you have rhinitis! Hurry up and join the cycling army. If you ride a bicycle on a regular basis, you will find that not only your physique has improved, but your minor illnesses will no longer harass you, and your stiff and painful old waist seems to relax. Not only that, the habitual cycling exercise can expand your heart, otherwise, the blood vessels will become thinner and the heart will degenerate more and more. In old age, you will experience the troubles it brings, and according to North Carolina According to a university study, if you ride a bicycle for 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week, you can reduce sick leave by half compared to those who lie at home and watch TV every day. See if you have begun to appreciate yourself, how wise it is to choose cycling. 4. The secret to youthfulness and age reduction Cycling exercise accelerates the circulation in the body, which can more effectively deliver oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells while eliminating toxins. And cycling exercise can also create an ideal environment in the body to optimize the production of collagen, thereby slowing down the production of wrinkles and accelerating the speed of repair. Of course, you must apply sunscreen before going out to exercise, and apply it appropriately according to the outdoor time. In addition to the rejuvenation of the face and skin, cycling will also bring about the youthfulness of the body. Do you often feel forgetful? The symptoms of memory loss at the beginning of aging are becoming more and more obvious. In fact, there is no difference between you and your youth by bicycle. 5. Broad vision, long sleeves good dance Be a goddess at home? Those who would rather ride as a female man, cycling on the road, will meet different people who love cyclists, see the beautiful scenery that has not been seen before, join the cycling club, the social circle will gradually expand invisibly, not only that, A single girl may find a partner. 6. Confident and cheerful, meet a better self cycling is a wonderful start. Perhaps it was to get rid of the annoying fat at the beginning, to improve the physique, and to have two more friends, but found that not only the physique is getting better and better, but the body shape is getting better and better. I never expected it. You can go cycling with your friends, self-confidence is also accumulated in the cycling, and even feel that under the negative pressure of life and work when you are about to exhaust your talents, you can save yourself by cycling. Let us get better and better!
When cycling a bicycle, many cyclists have experienced crashes. Now combined with some escape experience, I would like to refer to cyclists for reference. 1. Psychological preparation: Any sport has its dangers, and two-wheelers are no exception. Cycling is also a two-wheeled sport, which is characterized by a certain speed or the cyclist’s own center of gravity adjustment technology to master the balance, in order to obtain a stable movement posture, and finally, drive to the destination. However, during exercise, if this balance is broken, the cyclist cannot adjust it back in time, and the phenomenon of losing balance will inevitably occur. . . An accident appeared here. Therefore, since it is a sports event, there must be accidents during training and competition. Although protective gear can be used for protection, the degree of protection is still relatively limited. What really plays a decisive role is the driver’s quick response and self-protection actions. So as long as they participate in cycling, cyclists must always be mentally prepared to deal with accidents. Only by facing the accident correctly and keeping a clear and calm mind at the moment of the accident can we make timely and reasonable emergency measures. Protect yourself and reduce injuries caused by sports accidents. 2. Abandon the bicycle: Loss of balance will inevitably face an abnormal landing. If it is determined that the situation can no longer be restored at this time, an escape action will begin. The first element of escape is to quickly abandon the bicycle. The advantage of the separation of people and bicycles is that people can face the embrace of the earth alone, instead of falling into a rolling bicycle. If the speed of abandoning the bicycle is not fast enough, the body posture will change because a certain part of the bicycle is bound to the body, which will have a great impact on the self-protection action after landing. The method of abandoning the bicycle is to throw the bike body to both sides. You must use both hands to throw the bicycle to the left or right, not your feet. If the legs are also involved in the action, it will also bring negative effects, causing the spatial posture of one’s body to change, and the body is slanted to the ground. Even if you have to move your legs, you can just retract your legs over the body of the bicycle to prevent the bicycle from tripping over you. Also remember to throw the bicycle to the sides, not front and back. 3. Landing: The body must be relaxed before landing so that the muscles and joints are not tense, the flexibility is high, and the cushioning is good. The first point: “support”. Support refers to the movement of the limbs (hands and feet) in order to well cushion the impact on the ground, temporarily maintain the body posture, and make adequate preparations for the full-scale landing of the body. Or there are other objects at the drop point, such as big rocks, branches, other riders, etc. . In order to avoid these things, it is very necessary to do a supporting action at this time. The support must be “soft support”, that is, the limb joints (elbow joint, knee joint, wrist, ankle) are properly bent, at a certain angle, and bent close to the body, so as to effectively cushion the impact. If the limbs are straightened, a “hard-to-hard” situation will be formed. Such a wrong support method will directly cause limb dislocations, fractures, and other injuries! Therefore, “unreasonable support action is better than no support”, this sentence is very popular in sports, and it is also a very reasonable theory of self-protection technology. The second point: the torso landed. In any case, be sure to avoid landing on the ground directly. The consequences of frontal landing are very serious. The face and limbs are all directly damaged parts, and the damage is the greatest. Therefore, before landing, change the body posture by turning, letting the shoulder and back land, and then adding the homeopathic rolling action, this is an effective landing cushioning action. The correct position of the shoulder landing is the position of the side and back of the shoulder joint close to the back. If it is the front or front side of the shoulder, the clavicle will be broken due to poor bearing capacity, and the shoulder joint will be easily dislocated. Landing on the back is a good way to land because the back muscles are thicker, and the natural arch can effectively resist impact and protect internal organs. When you land on your back, be sure to bend your neck forward to protect the back of your head. The key is to think “eyes look at your belly” when you touch the ground, so as not to let the back of your head hit the ground. The third point: rollover. Rolling can reasonably eliminate the inertial momentum of the body forward after landing. At this time, you should relax your body, put your arms in front of your chest to protect your chest, and your legs will bend together naturally. The head should still be bent forward to avoid further injury during the roll. The roll direction is also best to be lateral, the vision will not be greatly affected, and the head is also well protected. If it starts straight ahead or straight behind, change the direction as soon as possible to roll sideways. Get up and flee the scene as soon as possible after the rollover, to avoid hitting you by the vehicles behind you. (The situation will be different depending on the competition event).
