In today’s China, motorcycles have become more and more popular, and many young people choose to ride cool big motorcycles to travel. However, there are many correct safety awareness, many motorcycle friends have not realized it, and even fell into some terrible misunderstandings.
In this article, the author will briefly review several common cycling fallacies so that all fellow riders can learn from them.
1. Push the handle in reverse to avoid obstacles.
Many public accounts are promoting the reverse push handle, which can quickly tip over the motorcycle during driving, and is used for hill running and cornering, as well as avoiding obstacles on the road. This is a very wrong practice!
Pushing the handlebars in reverse can indeed tip the scooter over quickly, but it is not suitable for most road riding scenarios. In case of an emergency, the most appropriate option is to brake quickly, turn on the hazard lights, and keep the vehicle upright and driving straight. When avoiding obstacles, try to make small detours and never change lanes drastically.
Pushing the handlebars in the opposite direction will cause the motorcycle to tilt, making it difficult to deal with emergencies when avoiding obstacles. Secondly, this operation will inevitably cause the motorcycle to change lanes significantly, deviating from the original driving route, which is very likely to cause serious traffic accidents.
Especially for novice motorcyclists who have insufficient ability to control the bike, never try to push the handlebars. If you don’t control the strength well, you may even fall off the bike!
Second, separate people and vehicles to avoid danger.
There is also a very scary rumor that if you encounter an emergency while riding, you can avoid danger by separating yourself from the motorcycle. Unless the motorcycle is on fire and there is a potential risk of explosion, it is absolutely suicidal to choose to jump off or abandon the motorcycle while riding.
The rider can choose to brake, turn, and avoid on a motorcycle, and the maneuvering space is quite large. If the rider chooses to jump off the motorcycle during riding, he will not only be directly hit without any deceleration, but also fall into the dilemma of being unable to take the initiative. You should know that using a motorcycle to turn is much more realistic than falling down and then getting up and running away!
Third, you have strong skills and can do it yourself.
Many motorcycle science posts teach ,how to ride with the throttle and shift gears when the clutch cable is broken; if the throttle cable is broken, you can increase the idle speed and pull the broken cable to continue driving; if there is a problem with the brake system, use the braking force of high and low gears to slow down and continue a pleasant motorcycle trip. These methods are indeed feasible, but very dangerous, and there is no regret medicine in case of emergencies.
Unless we are in an uninhabited area, with no cell phone signal or satellite phone, we have no other choice and these tips will come in handy. If you encounter a motorcycle failure, calling for help is the wisest thing to do.
Finally, I hope that all motorcyclists can improve their safety awareness, not blindly pursue technology and engage in dangerous driving behaviors, and also avoid the above-mentioned misunderstandings in daily riding, so that they can go out safely and return safely.
