Going Down in Style

Here are some downhill tips: Look 50 to 100 feet down the road, not directly in front of your wheel, so you can spot obstacles or problems quickly. On curvy roads, look ahead and visualize the route where you want your bike to go. Bicycles tend to go where you look, so if you stare at rocks in the road, you'll probably hit them. Instead, look at the good line around the corner - that's the route your wheels will follow.
