What skill do you think is important for new cyclists to learn?
Why am i watching this 💀 the most i bike is to my school
the camera man is flash if you did not knew
I just rode 25 kilometers round trip from Iloilo city to Pavia and I just turned thirteen and now my legs are broken
Favored leg? I don't have a favored leg. Best foot? What's that?
To a daily commuter on bike, these tips seem to be kinda obvious.
Dang you make getting on a bicycle look complex
I bought a 26T MTB today..frame size of 38.1 cm..my height is 5ft 7 inches..
Did I made the right choice?? Seems a little small for me while riding.
Props to the camera man running at those speeds
Just back on my bike .when I was a kid it seemed to be a case of getting on and peddling.
Now it seems to be more of a science.
I did 17 kilometres the other day, so happy. Ok It's not the Tour de France.
Also running on dyno at home to help.
Thanks for the great videos.
The camera man is a superhero lol
Fuck it…I’m getting an electric bike.
I always thought that standing on the pedals was admitting that your legs were too weak to pedal up an incline so I never did it and looked with disdain on people who did… Maybe I'll try and do it more
I was too busy being irked by those integrated bars to hear much.
that was useful. thank you
This is good but no mention of gears and how to keep the bike stable.
And here I was, always crashing into things with my bike, because I never thought of cornering 😉
It is for learning
thank you man now i know how to balance a bike
🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
rear breaking without putting any weight on the saddle, and front breaking while all you weight is on the front of the bike
Congrats champ…
Basic skills are to get the money to buy that bike first!!
ha ha ha ha ha
Yep, don't do what this guy did … The way this boy in tights on a skinny bike passed me … He didn't even say Hi or by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QMdUmamyJ4
Away from traffic I do it around my apartment 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is this a 2018 bicycle
I've ridden motorcycles for 40 years. Is the ratio of braking, front and back combo, 60/40 the same? So we don't lean into corners or counter steer like motorcycles?
Thanks for any advice
As simple as these suggestions were…they were important indeed.
useful but short
I am only 9 and I can ride a bike
Nice work for the kids
Thank you!
Nice carbon fiber bike for a low budget biker
Hahaha
I'm not saying this is a skill but the #1 Mistake I see often, cyclist either don't know the rules of the road or they don't think it applies to them, Know The Law … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4hhiM-Fd9w
