The reason we’re here is to answer one of cycling’s most important questions. Just how far can you push it around a corner? How fast can you go? How far can you lean? All being well we’ll have a video for you on Saturday. In the meantime though, given crashing is pretty inevitable today, we’d actually tackle the subject. No one wants to fall off, so what are the hidden skills in avoiding it. So, what are the five golden rules for avoiding crashing? To think about avoiding crashing, we should firstly think about the scenarios that often lead to a crash. Starting with group riding, where it’s almost always down to a touch of wheels, whether that’s in a race of a social ride. It’s such a precarious position to be in - a group of cyclists riding so close to so many other riders, the slightest mistake, or overlap of wheels, and you’re probably going to go down. A successful, upright, group relies on everyone acting in each other's best interests.
