Riding Tips - Always Stay On The Bike - Always!
The video here shows why staying on your is your best option if you are in a situation where you feel you may crash, fall, or drop the bike.
Jumping off the bike or deciding how you are going to twist your body when you hit the road is not what you should be thinking about. If you leave the bike - you have automatically lost. The most you can do at that point is hope that injuries to you and damages to your bike are not horrendous.
If you stay on the bike and have the mentality that you are not leaving the bike then you will most likely use your training and experience and automatically correct the situation - avoiding a crash altogether.
If you give up before you are even on the ground then that's where you will end up. Keep your hands on the handlebars and your mind focused and you will end up in the winner's circle.
