Should you brake the front brake or the back brake first in cycl

As the sport of cycling continues to grow, more and more cyclists are joining the sport. However, as an outdoor sport with a certain speed, cycling itself has a certain degree of danger. In the process of bicycle riding, we often encounter uncertainties such as poor road conditions and the sudden appearance of pedestrians, which are all potential crises for cycling due to the different riding experiences of individuals. To ensure cycling safety, we must first establish the correct concept of whether to brake the front or rear brakes when encountering unexpected situations.

  Since sport bikes are designed very differently from general commuter-type bikes, excessive brake control can easily cause holding.

  Some sports bike manufacturers put a warning sign on the top of new bicycles: "Caution: Brake rear first, then brake front". This warning is not wrong, but it cannot be considered the truth either. This sign is mainly for amateur riders who have not been in contact with bicycles for a long time, to prevent new riders from making a control error and breaking the front brake too hard in an emergency, which may cause the front wheel to lock up and flip forward.

  The braking method of first braking the rear and then braking the front brakes will not cause much danger on flat roads or uphill roads. However, if you enter a forest road or mountain riding, this braking method may cause danger.

  In general: "For bicycle riding, the front brake is the effective brake, and the rear brake is used to assist in controlling speed."

  Many veteran cyclists and experts warn that amateur cyclists and recreational cyclists when heading to mountain roads or unfamiliar roads, should not only be able to adapt, but also have the correct braking concept to minimize injuries. Many amateur teams or first-time bicycle riders, without some professional guidance and sufficient training, rely on courage to mountain roads or forest roads, insufficient safety concepts, or even errors on the road is to play with their own lives.

  Experts point out that many people know that when the speed exceeds 10 km/h, first use the rear brake even in a straight line will also shake the tail, shake more when turning, or even roll over, however, the front brake will not happen to shake the tail, even if the brake can not, will also go straight, so it is recommended that bicycle leisure people can consider the usual cycling process, can train braking with 70% of the front brake, 30% of the rear brake, more simply put "The rear brake is just an aid to help slow down".


  At the same time, in addition to paying attention to the brakes, cyclists should also make good use of the convex mirrors on the bends to observe whether there are oncoming cars in the opposite direction; in addition, helmets and gloves are necessary equipment.

  Also, it is better to fall together with a human car when you fall, because the wheel is like an airbag, it will hit the object in front first, the handlebar can protect the shoulder, the pedal protects the thigh, the chance of fracture is very small, at most it is a flesh bruise.
