When crossing the road flanges (eg, at the entrance to the courtyard), you must run into them at low speed. To prevent the front wheel bounce vigorously pull the steering wheel itself, and thus facilitating the front wheel to overcome the obstacles. Small swampy areas or areas with deep sand with a certain experience can be overcome with the move, but to do so in front of a sandy plot should develop greater speed and vigor pressure on the pedal. On a sandy and marshy ground to achieve linear movement and bicycle grip steering wheel with both hands. In the sand the front wheel starts to wobble, and it may drop the rider. Large areas of sand and muddy areas with soil should be overcome by foot, bicycle driving behind the wheel and seat. Shallow fords proven with hard bottom and can be overcome by bike, but with a depth of water above the wheel axles, as well as at the bottom of the firebox to carry a bike on your hands. It is most convenient for the bicycle frame to put on one shoulder and one hand to hold the front wheel. Ditches and trenches with steep edges overcome an acute angle to 20-30 °, to bike slid down the slope, but it requires considerable experience, or you may break up and spoil the machine. With a head wind to give the body a greater slope and sharper bend your elbows to reduce the area of your body. Pace car should be very smooth and fast as possible. At the same expenditure of energy required to overcome the distance is minimal. When a group ride, and high technology group of cyclists, ensuring arrivals from each other, it is recommended, where not prohibited by the rules of traffic, to go one by one at intervals of between 50-70 cm in the machine is protected from the wind traveling back and much makes them a ride. The lead should be as physically strong and fit cyclist, otherwise it must from time to time substitute. Crosswind travel to a number of benches, so that was riding ahead of the wind and covered a following, the second would cover a third, etc. The location of cyclists at the same time depends on the angle formed between the wind direction and the direction of movement of cyclists. With the wind behind the group is so that all the spins were substituted the wind. This makes it much easier ride.
