Don't forget how to ride slowly. Holding the brakes and pedaling slowly will allow you to ride in crowds, coming up to a stop light or sign, down handicap ramps, etc. It's pretty useful depending on the environment you're in. Especially if you have a red light, you can slowly pedal/semi track stand until the light changes. Keeps you from constantly clipping and unclipping.

For those of you complaining about those skills being something everyone can do... first that IS what the title of the video says, so it is clearly for us beginners who need tips what to practice next, not for you. Second, while you had the fortune to learn cycling when you were 4 or 5, some of us had to learn it when we were 20, 30 or even older. And while there are myriads of videos showing you how to do almost everything, there's a surprisingly low number of cycling tutorials. This video is really helpful, although it did not really show me HOW to drive one-handed, a skill I still struggle with after two months of cycling practice...

When hopping a curb, first you pull your weight back, like the video says.

On the last skill and also trackstanding, there was a game we called foot-down when I was BMXing, and it was basically playing chicken. All the riders would stay within a preset zone (often made up of the outted riders) and they had to stay upright, hands and feet on the bike while being harassed by the other participants. So trackstanding in front of each other, the occasional hip check or tire zip as well as an ever smaller area. If you put your foot down or took your hands off the bike, you were out. It was oodles of fun, but also gave me far more confidence as a cyclist. Very useful now that I cycle commute regularly.

As I anticipated, the dog terrified to the sound of the bike and jumped to my side.

@redneckwithajeep50016 жыл бұрын
Honestly learning to bail is arguably the single most important skill. Now my way of cycling is very very different from what cycling is traditionally. But in some situations weather you are on a mountain bike going for a cruise on your 10 speed or grinding the hand rail down that set of 10 stairs in the park on your BMX there's always a situation where if you can get off your bike while it's moving it's safer and faster than actually stopping the bike. BMX riders implement this skill all the time because they are failing a trick or just want their bike to ghost ride for some reason. Here's a situation where bailing would become important though. Mechanical failure in the brakes. Say your brakes just stop working because a cable snapped and a car stops in front of you. Emergency braking isn't going to do much good your bike is going to hit this car but that doesn't mean you have to. Simply let go of the handle bars and push and jump away from the bike. The moment you land on the ground you will slow down a lot faster. I would practice and do practice this on cheap bikes in the grass at different speeds the landing is the hardest part but once you've mastered it it can really save you some injuries. The biggest problem most people have with bailing isn't bailing at all as with any trick that sounds crazy there's a mental block you have to work past but the payoff is worth the effort

You'll never be accepted by other cyclists if you cant ride no-handed.

The Tour of Tight Corner was a very intense race. Can't wait for the slow balanced results.

Love cycling videos just what I need to get it going the blood I love it. I always watch these before I go out and get my body moving. I always watch one of these, and then put up my heavy playlist like Delta Parole, Three Days Grace, System and then I just go haaaaard!!!! Tactic hasnt let me down yet.

That was a good "How to" vid about how to annoy your mates on a ride by clicking every pedal stroke. I think there's a maintenance Monday vid to fix that Si.

As a Dutchie but also not as a Dutchie but just as a bikie (I just happen to be a Dutchie on a bikie), obviously we learn to cycle without hands before weaned off the milk (Dutch people never get weaned off the milk), but I did not know about leaning back for breaking. I was clasping in fear on the front brake, making sure the rear was the main one to use. Now I happily lean back and brake away. Even today when a car seemed to want to murder me, I stopped in time no problem. 👍 Never heard about this trick before. (Proper Dutch commuter bikes have one gear and a backpedal brake, by the way.)

Thanks to my days of BMX bikes and dirt jumping, all of these skills are like second nature to me.

Si! As a home mechanic I would have thought you would have sorted out that annoying click! To find out how to get rid of annoying rattles, just find that video you did in the GCN archive called, 'how to get rid of annoying rattles'. Can't believe I need to tell you this!

One that I need to work on is balancing on my bike when there is a red light. Whether then stoping and going again.
