To enhance climate change mitigation, adaptation and resilience TAU has launched a 5 million tree campaign!

Over the next three years we will plant five million trees to sequester carbon and combat climate change on a local and global scale 🌱🌳

People from across the world can adopt the trees that we will plant for as little as $1 and contribute to the creation of our forest 🌳🌳

Friends in Uganda can also support us by joining us in Nakaseke next weekend to plant!

Find out more via our website at treeadoptionuganda.org or contact us via social media.

today lets learn abt Braking

Braking seems simple: you squeeze the levers and the bike slows down. That is the gist of it, but learning more about how to brake goes a long way in making you more comfortable and secure on the bike.

How to Brake
Braking should be consistent and controlled. Most of your braking power comes from your front brake, but grabbing a handful of front brake will send you over the bars. Instead, lightly apply the brakes, and do so evenly on the front and back brakes. Avoid sudden, fast squeezes to help prevent skidding.
While braking, brace yourself by moving your hips back, dropping your heels down and keeping a slight bend in your knees and elbows. This body position helps you stay in control and from getting too far forward on the bike.
If your mountain bike has disc brakes, keep the index finger of each hand on the brake levers and your other three fingers on the handlebar grips. This gives you sufficient braking power and control while riding. If you have rim brakes, try two fingers on the brake levers since they typically require more force to engage the brakes

When to Brake
When approaching a turn, brake before you hit the turn, and then let your momentum carry you through. This allows you to focus on your technique through the turn and exit the turn with speed.
Momentum can also be your friend when getting up and over obstacles in the trail. Beginner riders often slow way down when approaching obstacles. Controlled momentum can help you get through these tricky sections of trail.
