Cornering Skills Cornering is not just an important skill for racing cyclists who want to survive criteriums. It’s also important for cornering downhill at speed and for commuters in traffic because cornering at a decent speed helps you to blend in with the traffic flow. This is the line you take through the corner, see diagram above. You need to flatten the line as much as possible. This will depend on how much space there is to manoeuvre. In most cases there will be a car’s width. It is always important to visualize the line that you will take as an imaginary line on the road. If you suddenly see a pothole or a slippery grate readjust your line. Do not look at the pothole!
