Khumbula ukuthi wazizwa kanjani lapho uthenga ibhayisikili lakho lokuqala? Lelo ibhayisikili elisha sha okade ulilindile futhi uliphupha. Kubonakala sengathi indizela phambili ngokwayo. Ungakwazi ukuzwa ukusabela kwayo kukho konke ukunyakaza nokukhohlisa. Uyayihlomisa futhi uyibuke ibangcono. Khumbula lapho uphupha ukuhamba ngebhayisikili usuku lonke ngezimpelasonto ukuze uhlole izindlela zasehlathini noma imizila yedolobha? Futhi esikhundleni sokukuqeda amandla, kukugcwalisa ngamandla. Lokhu ugqozi!

Futhi bheka manje, ibhayisikili lakho owake walithanda ligcwele uthuli. Lo mngani onamasondo amabili uya ngokuya engenzi lutho, futhi uyaphuma uyozama kancane kancane. Kubonakala sengathi ukweqa amaqhubu akusajabulisi, angisenalo ithemba lokugibela lelo gquma elake lanqotshwa futhi. Mhlawumbe ibhayisikili seliye lisinda kakhulu, noma mhlawumbe aligingqiki kahle. Kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo, awuyeki ukuthanda ibhayisikili, liwuphawu kuwe, lalikade liwumsebenzi wokuzilibazisa, likulethela imizwelo nezinkumbulo ezingenakuqhathaniswa - ujwayelene kakhulu nalo ngokusondelana. Kodwa kwenzekani ngempela? Ngingalubuyisa kanjani uthando lwami lwakudala?

Mhlawumbe sekuyisikhathi sokwandisa ama-horizons ethu? Ukuba umshisekeli weqiniso wamabhayisikili kusho ukuvuleleka kuzo zonke izinhlobo zamabhayisikili embonini yesimanje yamabhayisikili. Phela, amabhayisikili angamathuluzi okuxhumana nomhlaba. Amabhayisikili ahlukene akuyisa emazingeni ahlukene eqiniso, akuyisa esimweni esisha ngokuphelele isikhathi ngasinye. Mhlawumbe ubucabanga ngokuthenga ibhayisikili elipholile futhi uligibele impilo yakho yonke. Kodwa ukugibela amabhayisikili ahlukene kuzokunikeza umuzwa ohlukile womehluko, okukuvumela ukuthi ujabulele izici zabo ngazinye. Kufana nokuya endaweni yokudlela ewubukhazikhazi, kukhona ukuqhuma kwezinzwa zokunambitha, ukuvuka kwezinzwa ezintsha kanye nesifiso sokubuya ngokuzayo…kodwa noma kunjalo, kusekuhle kakhulu ukuya kubhega oyikhonzile ngemuva kwalokho.

Uma ucabanga ukuthi ulazi kahle ibhayisikili futhi akukho okukumangazayo, yini okufanele ugxile kuyo? Bese uqala ngokuthile obungeke ukwenze ngaphambilini okuzokwephula ubandlululo lwakho futhi uvule umhlaba wamabhayisikili ngezindlela ezintsha. Ngakho, ake siqale.

Amabhayisikili kagesi ayinkambiso yentuthuko yesikhathi esizayo. Kukhona amabhayisikili edolobha kanye namabhayisikili ezemidlalo. Lolo hlobo lwesithuthuthu sehabhu, ngeke sixoxe ngalo okwamanje. Kodwa amabhayisikili aphakathi nendawo ayindaba ehlukile. Umshayeli uhlinzeka ngosizo kuphela uma ucindezela amaphedali, ungakwazi ukunquma inani lomsizi ngokwakho, futhi kunezindlela ezimbalwa ongakhetha kuzo. Amabhayisikili kagesi angakunika ukushayela okungakaze kubonwe ngaphambili, isivinini kanye nenjabulo. Wake waphupha ngokuthakasela ukwehla njalo? Bese uqhubeka! Amabhayisikili asizwa ngogesi akuvumela ukuthi "usekele ukwehla" kunoma iyiphi indawo. Ngokushesha uzongena enjabulweni yokushayela. Ugibele zonke iziqephu zomhlaba ngobuchule obukhulu. Manje isivinini asiseyona inkinga, into eyinhloko ukulawula lobuchwepheshe. Uthembisene ngokugcwele, ukhathele, kodwa ujabule, futhi ufuna ukuqhubeka nokugibela. Idrayivu kagesi ingaqeda ubuhlungu bokugibela nokukhuphuka ibanga elide, ukuze ukwazi ukuzwa kuphela ukunethezeka nobumnandi bokugibela. Abangabazayo nabathi ama-e-bikes awasewona amabhayisikili angempela, mabaqhubekele phambili ngoba abazi ukuthi balahlekelwa yini. Eqinisweni, lokhu kuwumkhuba ojwayelekile. Izinkulungwane zabantu sezivele zijabulela injabulo yokugibela amabhayisikili kagesi, usalindeni?

Amabhayisikili asezintabeni angaletha umuzwa obukhali, ocace kakhulu. Ifakwe izinto zokudonsa amasondo emasondweni angaphambili nangemuva, yakhelwe ukugibela ngaphandle komgwaqo futhi izonika nabagibeli abangomakadebona amandla. Isistimu yokumiswa iqinisekisa ukuphatha nokunethezeka emigwaqweni emibi ezokwenza uzizwe njengeqhawe. I-suspension inyusa ama-bumps, isivinini sokwehla sizokujabulisa, futhi ithrekhi yokungcola ezinikele izokwenza ukuthi uyilangazelele. Kuyithuluzi elihle lokuqinisa umzimba wakho futhi uthuthukise amakhono akho okugibela. Ngayo, uzofuna ukusondela emvelweni kaningi, futhi impilo yakho yokugibela ibhayisikili izoba nokubukeka okusha.

Amabhayisikili omgwaqo akwenza uzizwe umlingo wejubane. I-Aerodynamics, ukugibela okushelelayo, ukuma komzimba, igiya lobuchwepheshe obuphezulu kwenza ukugibela ibhayisekili kube isayensi ethokozisayo. Izimoto zomgwaqo ziyaqhubeka nokuthuthuka futhi zithuthuka kule ndlela. Umuntu ohamba ngebhayisikili okokuqala ngqa uzoyibona ngokushesha, futhi ayizwe kuwo wonke umsipha emzimbeni wakho, akukho okuqhathaniswa nebhayisikili lezintaba eliwumzila wonke. Amasondo azulazula ngokwawo njengewashi, futhi ibhayisikili ligijima emoyeni njengama-blades. Khetha umgwaqo onezindawo ezinhle kakhulu bese uhamba ubheke ekushoneni kwelanga.

Uke wahamba ngebhayisikili kuzo zonke izindlela eziseduze futhi awukaze ufune ukuhlukaniswa nebhayisikili lakho okwesikhashana? Kodwa ukuhamba ngebhayisikili entabeni edolobheni kungase kukudumaze ngoba kujabulisa njengokugibela ibhayisikili elinesine ukuya etiyetha. Ibhayisikili lesimanje ledolobha liyibhayisikili elidala elidala le-scalper. Uzokhohlwa ngezitimela ezihamba ngaphansi ezinwabuzelayo nesiminyaminya sezimoto, futhi ukuhamba ngebhayisikili uya noma ubuya emsebenzini kuba yisikhathi sakho osithandayo sosuku. Idolobha lizokukhombisa okuhle kakhulu kwalo. Ikhefu lakho lesidlo sasemini lizoba izaba zakho zokubalekela ihhovisi elishisayo, ugijimele endaweni yokudlela oyikhonzile, futhi uyeke uku-oda ukudla okudlayo. Leli bhayisikili futhi liza nama-fenders amade kanye nonogada bamaketango ukugcina izingubo zakho ozithandayo zihlanzekile. Thuthukisa ikhwalithi yempilo yakho ngale mininingwane emincane, ukuze ukufanele nakanjani. Asheshayo, aqinile, ahlala isikhathi eside, e-ergonomic futhi amahle, amabhayisikili edolobha azokuyisa endaweni efanele ngesikhathi esifanele. Ibhonasi enhle: Ngemva kohambo lwasedolobheni, uma ushintshela ekugibeleni umzila wezintaba, uzozwa umehluko, futhi kumnandi kabili futhi kuyamangaza.

Thamba ngamathayi awugqinsi. Amabhayisikili anamafutha angamakhosi enkundla angenakuphikiswa. Yaqala e-Alaska futhi ekuqaleni yayisetshenziswa njengebhayisikili elingekho emgwaqeni. Kukhona intokozo yobuhle eyingqayizivele ukugibela lawa mabhayisikili anamandla, amahle. Ukuthamba okuphelele, ukunethezeka nokunyakaza okungavimbeki esihlabathini esixegayo. Gibela amathayi akhuluphele futhi ungowokuqala wombukiso webhayisikili endaweni ka-C: isondo elingaphansi kwamayintshi angu-4 eliqinile futhi eliqonde esweni lakho. Ijubane alikho phezulu, kodwa emithambekeni ungakwazi ukudedela amabhuleki ngokugcwele. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi iqhwa, udaka, amabhishi, noma imigwaqo egugulekile, enamathayi awugqinsi, awukwazi ngisho nokuzwa ukuthi kwenzekani ngaphansi kwamasondo. Futhi okuhle kunakho konke, ungajabulela lo muzwa nganoma yisiphi isikhathi sonyaka.

Ake sithi ubukade ukuzo zonke izinhlobo zamabhayisikili, kodwa umphefumulo wakho nomzimba wakho kusafuna intokozo. Bese ubheka entsha, ibhayisikili lomgwaqo owubhuqu. Amabhayisikili omgwaqo owubhuqu amunca kalula amaqhuqhuva emigwaqweni ewubhuqu (njengoba igama lisho) kanye nezwe elimaholoholo, futhi alethe isivinini esihle kuyo yomibili imigwaqo yetiyela neyobhuqu ngaphandle kokudela ukunethezeka kwabagibeli. Mhlawumbe ibhayisikili elinjengaleli lingavuselela uthando lwakho lokugibela. Ngaphandle, lolu hlobo lwebhayisikili lubukeka njengebhayisikili yomgwaqo we-drop-bar, enejubane elincane, kodwa isakhiwo se-ergonomic futhi ezinzile. Amasondo agcwele, ukubambelela kunamandla, kanti umthwalo, ibhodlela lamanzi nezinye izinto zenzelwe abathandi bomjaho wamabanga amade. I-Gravel enobuntu bayo obungayekethisi ifana ne-omnivore. Iyakwazi ukuhamba kunoma yimuphi umgwaqo, futhi ngeke ime amasondo ayo phambi kwanoma yimuphi umgwaqo. Ngokuyigibela kuphela lapho ungawaqonda ngempela amandla ayo.

Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ibhayisikili lakho lipholile kangakanani, ungazikhawuli kulo futhi uzincishe okuhlangenwe nakho okusha kwamanye amabhayisikili. Kufanele ube neqiniso kuwena, hhayi ibhayisikili lakho, ngoba unempilo eyodwa kuphela. Noma ngabe ibhayisikili lakho lingelesimanje futhi lisezingeni eliphezulu kangakanani uma ulithenga, umqondo kanjiniyela awumi futhi yonke into iphuma esitayeleni. Ungakuvimbi ukoma kwakho kohambo lwamabhayisikili, kodwa kwenze kuqine. Umgibeli wamabhayisikili wangempela kufanele abe namabhayisikili okungenani amabili. Zama izinto ezintsha, hlanganisa futhi ufanise izitayela, jabulela ukuma kwezwe, thola okungaziwa, futhi uqhubeke ugibele.
