Coming to a safe stop on any surface – every rider wants that. The technique is best trained on a recognised rider safety course. But in a real emergency, it's often not technique alone that decides, it's your head.
The mental side of braking
- Understand freezing: Many riders freeze in a moment of shock. Knowing this lets you work against it.
- Build trust: Repeated practice in a safe setting gives your body confidence for the real thing.
- Stay calm: Breathing and vision help you act clearly even under pressure.
At Ride & Reflect we work on exactly this mental side. Find out more in my coaching offers.
