Braking
Master the control of front and rear brakes.
In general, apply the rear brake first and then the front brake.
Apply the rear brake smoothly and gradually to reduce speed.
The front brake is more powerful and efficient. However, if you apply too much force, the cycle will stop more abruptly and the rear wheel may lift off the ground and cause you to lose control or even fly over the handlebars, especially when going downhill at high speed.
Control your speed by braking properly when going downhill or before turning a curve.
Brake only when the front wheel is straight.
