TIPS FOR BEGINNER BIKE RIDERS
- Rebecca has started riding a bike
- She knows how to bike, does around 10 miles a day
- Has a cross-bike
- Had her first crash
- Vinnie’s tips:
- You must be very careful and aware of curbs and such
- Strong core helps bike riding
- Get tires that are as wide as possible
- Run as low a tire pressure as possible
- Better stability and patch
- Patch = amount of rubber on the asphalt
- Always use easier gear and spin pedals faster instead of more slowly pushing a harder gear
- Prevents knee injury
- If you can afford it, use a professional bike fitter
- You want the seat to be high enough so that when the pedal is all the way at the bottom, there is still a 10º bend
