Riding in the mountains (lemmy.world)

I am someone who lives in a very flat area, not a single hill. Suppose I was taking a road trip and had to go up and down some mountains, what tips should I consider to be safe? How do I avoid ruining my clutch or my breaks?

Take your time on any curvy roads, and pay attention to the signs that tell you how the road is going to be, such as only one curve or switchback.

I missed a sign that a road was going to be a switchback and I almost didn't slow down enough to turn the other direction around the second curve.
