scotty Posted May 9, 2007 Share Never try fixing your light clamp with one hand while cycling a drop off at a night race. Still have a big thumb bump from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nellie Posted May 9, 2007 Share Tip #1 from my side - when wearing bibs, please remember to put the straps over your shoulders before going on a 60km training ride and not let them hang loose over your bum! (it is seriously tempting for the 2 riders behind you to each grab a strap, pull it tight and let loose)#2 out of own experience:Be careful when visiting the moon rockets (i.e toilets at races)...cleats do not really love those things' floor surfaces so much, so please make sure of your footing when opening the door to get out. Hehe - otherwise you might just end up flat on your bum - in the open door - with a long queue of cyclists laughing and grinning at you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ti-ny Posted May 9, 2007 Share MTB - Keep your weight back and control the back wheel braking- no skidding. Pedal around corners as far as possible, it maintains traction so you are less likely to slip One finger braking and most important, if you fall try to avoid the sudden stop at the end of the fall - it normally hurts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buff Posted May 9, 2007 Share Make sure your quick release is tightened before bunning hoping a railway line (road bike). The sudden stop often leads to concussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodTi Posted May 9, 2007 Share Be careful how you handle that punctured tube with the Stan's fluid still sloshing around in it.... Stan's marks everything (and don't come out!) - including my new riding jersey - which, needless to say, doesn't look so new anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodTi Posted May 9, 2007 Share Oh - and for those 'bad morning' people... Never look to see what time it is, whilst standing in the kitchen in your kit, if your full, very hot coffee mug happens to be held in the same hand that your wristwatch is on... I woke the house...
