1. When cornering on a bike, don't keep pedaling as fast as you can cuz then you'll have to lean to far, resulting in a crash into the curb or a total wipe out

Personal Experience: so i was zooming along on my 26 inch, $88 mountain bike LOL at like 30 mph. and i had to turn left. but I saw some of the dudes from my class and i was like i know! i'm gonna zoom past them super-fast and leave their mouths hanging open! so i leaned into the turn, still pedaling superfast on gear3, little gear 7 which is the fastest speed you can get. but bikes just aren't designed to turn that fast, especially bikes with like 50 cent made in china tires.. well, basically i ended up clipping the curb with the front tire and almost survived not falling off I almost recovered but you know how there's the gutter part of the street and then the real street? yeah so there was a crack thing separating the two and i was still kinda leaning in the turn so the side of my tire hit it and then i like skidded off...
