    • Proprioception
    • Walk, carry, lift, mount, and dismount from the left side of the bike
    • Proper Q-factor (distance of pedals from centerline of bike) for your biomechanics
    • Roll up your pant leg and/or secure the cuff, or wear knickers or cycling legwear
    • Keep your chain cleaned and lubricated with the correct lubricant for your locale, wipe off the excess lube

        Try a blousing garter or a Velcro strap. If you use blousing garters, fold over your pant leg, put on the garter, then roll up your pant leg.

        I appreciate your sense of humor here. I hope that I didn’t give you the impression of “just git gud!” There are all kinds of bicycle tips and tricks that are difficult or really prolix to convey online.
