What is the correct posture and essentials of riding a road bike?

Correct riding posture: the upper body leans forward, the head leans forward slightly, the arms naturally bend forward, the handlebars are held lightly and forcefully with both hands, the waist is bent, and the feet push the ground vertically around the garden to avoid swinging the legs from side to side, and the weight is evenly distributed on the hips, feet and hands.

Generally speaking, the best angle is a low seat with a backward inclination of 5~ 10 degrees. The arrangement of the amount of exercise should be reasonable, maintain a certain speed, and avoid being fast and slow. Take a rest every 2~3 hours. Don't stop if you want to.

When driving under special road conditions, it is particularly important to grasp the speed, but the speed is fast and easy to pass smoothly. When driving on muddy roads, it is advisable to remove the front and rear fenders to avoid mud blocking the gap between the fenders and the wheels; When going downhill, the front and rear brakes should be tightened. In summer, if you meet the road where asphalt melts, avoid it. There is really no way, just go to the dirt road first and let the wheels touch some loess to prevent sticking.
