Cornering Clues

Slow, Look, Lean


Brake before you enter a turn, not in the turn.


Look down...Fall down

Always look where you want to go, not at the ground.


Increase clearance

Keep your outside pedal down!  Put pressure on your outside pedal.


Stay low

Keep your hands on the handlebar drops, not on top.


Maintain clearance

Do not begin pedaling until you've completed your turn.


Smooth is good

Keep your turns smooth. Don't correct your arc in a turn.


Too slow is better than  a crash

Don't over estimate your ability.
