| Video Discription | To perfect your cornering skill on your bike is one of several important cycling skills in avoiding keeping you safe, especially with road bike descending with curves. Here is what I have learned from years of cycling in the Italian Dolomites: 1. You should slow to the speed that you will be comfortable in BEFORE making the turn. Note: Always look ahead at the turn for traffic, debris and gravel that you may need to avoid and never cross the center line unless the road has been closed for racing. 2. As you enter the curve, let up on the brakes and weight your outside leg for balance (whether you point the inside knee in the direction of the turn is not necessary but some prefer to do this). 3. As you are finishing the turn, begin cycling out of a turn and you're on your way. The keys here are slowing to the speed you’re comfortable in the turn, leaning into the turn while weighting your outside foot, and, finally, cycling out. It is the leaning rather than steering that allow the bicycle to turn. But keep seated to apply the most traction on your rear wheel to keep it from sliding out from under you. And don't overcook the corner at high speed and a step lean or your bike wheels will slip out from under you and you will find yourself on the ground. I, myself, try not to brake while in the corner or your bike will straighten up countering the centrifugal force of the turn and you'll lose control. Remember, you’re not maneuvering a heavy race car or motorcycle but a light weight bicycle. Also look ahead into the turn for gravel or obstacles. Finally, look behind to make sure you are clear of traffic and pick a line for a smooth efficient turn. Although there are videos that teach us how to corner like a pro, most of us are traveling on roads that are not closed off and we must be aware of traffic and road obstacles. Practice at lower speeds until you can anticipate the speed you need to be in the curve to be safe but efficient. [0Rc8UGevf4A] |
