After riding for so long, do you know how to use the brakes correctly?

Braking is very simple.

Just press the brake handle.

Is it really that simple? Of course not.

The actual situation tells us that if the brakes are not well controlled, the safety of riding cannot be guaranteed.

Now let’s take a look at the correct use of brakes! Basic knowledge of braking 1.

Braking controls speed, not just parking.

2.

The front brake has better braking effect.

3.

The brake has the maximum braking effect when it is close to locking, and the braking performance is greatly reduced and easy to lose balance after locking.

Many novices prefer to use the rear brake instead of the front brake because they are worried that using the front brake will cause somersaults.

In fact, the front brake is safer in many cases.

Front brake or rear brake? Because your car has two sets of brakes, one controls the front wheel and the other controls the rear wheel.

In order to stop your bike safely, you must fully understand the skills of using brakes.

The traditional saying is: use the front and rear brakes at the same time.

Theory is very useful for beginners who are not proficient in bicycle skills, but if you can’t break through this stage all the time, you won’t be able to master the professional skills of skillfully controlling bicycles.

Usually, the best way to stop the bike in the shortest distance is to pull the front brake until the rear wheels just float off the ground.

Because the moving human body and the car have forward inertia, plus the downward acceleration of gravity, these two forces act at the same time to form a forward and downward resultant force.

The braking action relies on the friction between the tire and the ground to resist the forward component, and the greater the pressure, the greater the friction, so most of the friction comes from the front wheel at this time.

Because the rear wheel floats, the rear brake has no effect at all.

Make full use of the rear brake on soft or slippery roads, or when the front wheel blows out.

However, on ordinary dry and flat roads, whether in theory or in practice, the front brake can always provide the maximum braking effect.

Once you learn to use the front brake correctly, you will be a safe rider.

Practice of braking generally, the brake handle of a mountain bike is a two finger brake handle.

When riding, put your index finger and middle finger on it, and you can brake immediately in case of an emergency.

There are also many riders who set aside their index finger to change speed and only use their middle finger to control the brake, so that they can change speed and brake at the same time.

The first thing we should learn is to control the braking force.

Gradually get familiar with how much force can be applied to control the braking effect and prevent locking.

After getting familiar with the relationship between braking force and braking effect, you can safely use the front brake.

You can master the front braking technology by practicing fast parking, and pay attention to the change of the body’s center of gravity when braking and control it.

Precautions for braking before use during emergency stop, the body should move backward and downward with the brake, so as to prevent the rear wheel lifting and even people flying out caused by the forward inertia of the center of gravity during braking.

When the front wheels are turning, you should not use the front brake.

After you are skilled, you can use the front brake slightly.

Try to avoid using the front brake when there are obstacles in front.

Usually, the rear brake is mainly used as an auxiliary.

A little control of the rear brake when using the front brake will have a better use effect…
