The most easily overlooked problem for novice cyclists

After you buy a new car in high spirits, you always feel that you have integrated into the cycling circle and are eager to get rid of the title of novice vegetable leg.

At this point, you will make some mistakes you are not aware of.

This small series will show you 9 things that novices should learn.

(old birds often don’t notice these things.) ▍ 1.

Don’t comment on the bike configuration of riders: “your car is expensive”, “how can you match your car like this? It’s expensive and inappropriate”, “if only you could get XXX for an extra money” …

how did you feel when you proudly organized a car and heard such comments? This is where novices are prone to make mistakes, and many old birds will be disgusted to do so.

Buying a car is for riding.

You say the configuration is lower because others think it’s enough.

You think the matching is unreasonable because others carefully customize it.

You say the price is to force the riders to say “I don’t have enough budget”? Therefore, in the future, unless you invite comments or have a good relationship, you generally don’t comment on other riders’ cars.

▍2.

Don’t always think about the collective travel at the front.

You need to adjust the distribution of personnel according to the situation of the team, rather than to show your personal physical fitness.

Some new riders may not be good at understanding the riding team, so they are easy to rush to the front of the team on a whim.

But in fact, in riding, experienced riders are often in front and behind the team.

▍3.

Don’t show off the cost performance of online shopping in physical stores.

The development of e-commerce has a certain impact on physical operations, but physical stores sometimes buy after-sales convenience, which can’t be compared with online stores.

At this time, a friend criticized how cheap the online store was, but the physical store was so expensive.

You can think that physical stores are expensive and not cost-effective, but don’t hold on to the price.

▍4.

Don’t fish for three days and dry the net for two days.

There is a broad argument that it takes 21 days to develop a habit, as well as cycling.

Veterans may get used to it and sometimes don’t go for a few days.

They still step on their bikes again.

If a novice catches fish for three days and basks in the net for two days, he may slowly never want to ride again.

Since you choose to buy a bike, whether you like it at the beginning or on a whim, you should find a way to stick to it.

▍5.

Don’t dive in the cycling exchange group.

After joining various cycling exchange groups, the communication with group friends will make you quickly integrate into the circle, and can quickly improve your knowledge of bicycles and cycling.

Don’t be shy to ask some simple questions.

Dare to ask group friends for advice.

Don’t waste such a good opportunity.

You can also make an appointment with group friends.

▍6.

Learn some basic maintenance skills.

Don’t throw problems to the car store or your old bird friends.

Learn some basic bicycle maintenance methods by yourself.

If one day your bike breaks down on the road, you don’t have to be helpless and wait for rescue.

And the biggest fun of playing with the car is to toss the car, repair and change DIY, etc.

▍7.

Do a good job of checking before riding.

No matter for novices or cyclists all year round, you should pay attention to this.

Before riding, you must check the condition of the bicycle, such as the tightness of various parts, chains, tire pressure, etc., and check the riding equipment, such as helmets, shoes, pedals, etc.

We should also make specific preparations for our cycling, such as taking enough water for cycling in summer and some necessary tools for long-distance cycling.

▍8.

There are many misunderstandings for novices who ride with different groups, that is, if they buy a car of one brand, they can’t ride in a team of other brands.

Now many teams are open, and their riding activities will not limit the brand of cars.

You can try cycling with different teams, feel the different atmosphere, and find the most suitable and favorite team.

▍9.

I have reservations about other people’s product recommendations.

Although novices don’t know some riding knowledge, But when someone gives you advice (especially when buying a car), you must have the courage to ask your own questions and questions and find out why you need this.

In the process, you may find that this suggestion is not suitable for you.

In fact, you will learn from the process of questioning.

In fact, there are so many precautions, and the general point is to be open-minded and eager to learn.

I hope you will remember these precautions when you get started, Make riding more enjoyable ~..
