In a correct handlebar grip:
  1. Participants should use their body weight on their hands to maintain stability.
  2. Mimic a ‘motorcycle grip’ by angling their wrists.
  3. Keep a tight grip on the handlebars to prevent slipping.
  4. Use a light grip and keep wrists and forearms in alignment.
Explanation
Answer: D -In a correct handlebar grip, participants should use a light grip and keep wrists and forearms in alignment. Participants should use a light grip and avoid leaning on the handlebars. Doing so creates strain on the wrists, arms, and shoulders, and can cause injury if the hands become sweaty and slip. Gripping the handlebars tightly or allowing an extreme angle to the wrist restricts blood flow to the hands and causes numbness and fatigue.
