To swerve around a sudden obstacle, you should:
- A.Brake hard while you swerve
- B.Lean by looking down at the obstacle
- C.Drag the rear brake through the swerve
- D.Make firm presses on the handgrips to lean quickly, without braking during the swerve
Correct answer
D. Make firm presses on the handgrips to lean quickly, without braking during the swerve
Why
A swerve is done with firm, separate presses on the handgrips to lean the bike, first away and then back, with no braking during the swerve itself. Brake before or after the swerve, not while leaned over.
