LEARN TO RIDE
- When you are a learner, always find a safe place to ride. Do not ride on concrete, muddy or half constructed roads. Your first ride on a gentle slope or short grass will help you maintain balance.
- For the first timers, it is important to keep the cycle seat lower as this will support in riding the bike without falling & hurting oneself.
- Make sure you are well aware of the bike brakes. Test to see which break controls the rear tyre and which break controls the front tyre.
- One should learn to keep balance on the bike. In order to gain confidence on the balance, one should have control over speed. If you are practicing with a helper, he should your bike behind from the back and try to steady it as you pedal.

- A lot of caution is needed while applying the front brake. It shouldn’t be used frequently otherwise the chances are that the cycle may skid. Back brake should be preferred while trying to slow down the cycle
- Protective gears like gloves, full helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, shin guards; etc. must be used for a steep downhill ride.
