• Brake correctly by placing your hands at the ends of the levers.

  On a long downhill, don't stay on your brakes. This may overheat the tire rims, which could cause a blowout. Rather, tap the brakes intermittently.
• Don't pedal in high gear for long spells. This can heighten the pressure on your knees and lead to injury.
• Position the handles correctly - 1,5 cm lower than the top of the seat.
• Change your hand and body positions frequently.
• Keep your arms loose and don't lock your elbows.
