Cadence
Your cadence should always be in a smooth flow. In other words, you
should pedal at more than 60 crank rotations per minute.
Narrows
Practise cycling on narrow cycle paths. If necessary, walk your CS through
narrows until you have got used to the weight.
Load additional weight and repeat the riding manoeuvres. Do not practise
cycling with passengers and/or gradually increasing cargo until you have
performed this practice with your CS. In particular, when starting and
cycling slowly with additional cargo or passengers it is crucial to practise a
stable and safe way of riding.
However, before riding with cargo/passengers read in addition the chapter
“Transporting passengers, goods and pets”
.
Cornering
Stop pedalling earlier than you are used to before riding a corner or bend.
There may be too much propulsion and your cornering speed may be then
too high.
Practise riding slalom and a corner at reduced speed. Always cycle cau-
tiously and attentive!
Cycling uphill and downhill
Also train uphill and downhill cycling as well as braking for an emergency
stop.
