The easiest way to landing on a bicycle is a cyclist that puts the right pedal in the up position with a slight inclination forward, is to the left of the bike, throws his right leg over the saddle and put it on the pedal, then pushes with his left foot, giving the bike forward motion, and simultaneously transfers the whole weight of the body on the right foot, standing on the pedals. Bicycles will move forward, and the student, sitting in the saddle and not taking his eyes off the road, put your left foot on left pedal. It is important to immediately learn how to catch a second pedal during landing, as all efforts directed learning at first to preserve the balance, rather than footwork. That's why you need to start studying landing on a bicycle just after the positive results of balancing when riding without the pedals. The easiest way to dismount from the bike: its slow movement and lower leg on the side, which rolls the wheel. When the foot touched the ground, the bike stops, the other foot off the pedal is removed and transferred to the seat back. When emergency stops, which do not abuse it, so do not wear out the brakes and tires, pedals allow the reversal, bike almost immediately stops a moment is in equilibrium and slowly begins to lurch to one side. Then the foot of the slope is lowered to the ground and then throws a second seat. Women sit down and go with the bike as well, with the only difference are that the landing will wear no foot over the saddle and go with the bike in front, which allowed the construction of the frame of women's bicycle. The second way to dismount: slow down the bike, the left pedal is lowered down and stand on her left leg, right leg over the saddle is transferred back and down to earth The fifth exercise - training more quickly landing on a man's bicycle. To do this, put the left pedal in the forward position. The student is left of the bike, holding the steering wheel, and puts his left foot on the pedal, and then a strong push right foot on the ground said the bike moving forward. The casing cyclist should be a little tilted to the right to the center of gravity passes through the longitudinal axis of the bike. Saying the bike forward motion, throws his right leg over the saddle, caught her right foot and sit in the saddle. Having mastered the landing with the left side of the bike, we must learn to sit on the right. You should be able to go with the bike in both directions, but as a rule, you should always go to the right, as overtaking vehicles on the rules of traffic bypasses the bike on the left. The sixth exercise is as follows. Having mastered the technique of driving in a straight line, landing on his bike and dismount, proceed to the study of rotation and steering. Beginning with the corners with large radii of curvature at high speed bike, gradually decreasing as the radius and speed. You cannot turn the steering wheel too sharply, as this may cause a drop in the bike, to help the steering wheel is useful to give the body a gentle slope in the direction of rotation, then the bike will turn better. The seventh exercise - around obstacles. At the training site are placed logs or pegs are driven, and the student must hold a bicycle between the obstacles without hitting them over. For this exercise, of course, begin only after the student has fully mastered the turns and "figure eight" of any radius on the free site.
