Braking-
For example, descending down a hill and squeezing the front brake is a recipe for certain disaster. However, if you were to gently squeeze the back brake while applying a little tention to the front brake, then coming to a safe and controllable stop is easily achieved.
As you can see from the recent Tour de France, even professional cyclists get this wrong at times when they underestimate the laws of gravity. Avoid such pitfalls and start practicing this necessary skill today.

Squirrels more than any other animals are credited for brining down more cyclist than dogs and cats combined. They have a tendency to be hesitant and move rather panicy when it gets nervous. For example, a squirrel may run back and forth before it finally decides on staying on one side of a path. To survive such an encounter, the remidy is not to panic. Ride straight ahead. 90% of the time the squirrel will stay on one side of the road. However, if it runs out on you, you may have to live with running over the squirrel if you cannot slow down in time. If this happens, rest assure that the squirrel is rather resilient and survive this kind debacle all the time.
T

lies. Swurving to avoid hitting a squirrel should be your last and most desperate

cyclist often brings down their fellow cyclists around them. Such an incident can
be physically and financially taxing and should be avoided at all cost.
