TDF Tip #14: Braking Technique!
The front (left) brake is much more effective than the rear (right) at stopping you, so try to achieve a 70/30 distribution. But be very, very careful not to lock up. Disc brakes are very responsive. Hard left braking could cause you to go over the handlebars! When cornering, keep your weight back and put pressure outside pedal at the lowest position. This will allow you to grip the road, particularly in the wet, and make slipping less likely.

TDF Tip #13: Cycling Communication
If you’re going out for a long ride on your own, tell someone where you’re going and when to expect you back. The best bike computers and best cycling apps, such as Strava, allow you to send a tracking link to your loved ones so they know where you are. You can also share your location via WhatsApp. Going out in the city? Learn some basic traffic-riding skills. Be assertive, signal, and remember that you’ve got as much right to be on the road as anyone else.
