Obstacles and Impacts
Always look well down the road to
help you anticipate upcoming obstacles.
This distance will vary according to your
speed, but remember that the closer
you get to an obstacle, the less time you
have to react to it. Due to the greater
acceleration and speed of an e-bike,
you may approach obstacles faster than
expected.
Use caution when you encounter
obstacles in the road, whether it’s a
sewer grate, speed bump, gravel, or any
other hazard. If you are going fast, even
a small obstacle can create a significant
impact to your bicycle. If you are unsure
of your ability to safely ride over an
object, it is best to either ride around it or
dismount and walk around it.
Your body and bicycle will have a
natural tendency to go where you are
looking. If you focus on an obstacle,
you may go through it when you really
wanted to avoid it. Focus on the part of
the road where you want to go, not on the
obstacles.
