Precautions for riding a bicycle
1. Pose and relax. When riding a bicycle, usually the upper body should lean forward slightly, the arms should be straight, the eyes should be straight and the attention should be concentrated. When pedaling, use force on the forefoot to keep your body balanced and not shake. Lean forward when encountering uphill headwinds; When going downhill or downwind, stand upright and pay attention to downhill safety. At the same time, breathing should be coordinated with the vehicle speed, and abdominal breathing and nasal breathing should be used as much as possible. ?
2. Pay attention to changing posture. When riding for a long time, we should pay attention to changing the riding posture to move the body center of gravity and prevent a certain point of perineum from exerting force for a long time. Standing for 10 minutes every day is a compulsory course for mountain bike enthusiasts. This is also very important for cyclists on flat ground. ?
3. Force should be balanced. When riding a bike, sit up straight on your hips and keep your legs balanced to prevent one side from exerting too much force and forming a tumor. When pedaling, try to ensure that your knees are not completely straight, because that will shift your focus to your crotch and cause physical injury. When riding a bike, always lift your body, which can promote blood flow. ?
4. The seats should be suitable. The seat of a bicycle is not easy to be too high. If the seat is too high and the cyclist is short, it will not only make him uncomfortable and uncoordinated when riding a bicycle, but also make the perineum constantly rub against the seat because the cyclist can barely move up and down. A comfortable seat position should be horizontal or slightly inclined downward. If the car seat leans upward, even the best car seat will compress the hip artery. It's better to choose those wider seats. The seat area is large, and the stress is on the pelvis, which will not affect other parts.
