Correct your Riding Pose to Enhance the Athletic Ability (2015-08-12)
Want a better riding pose? Some off-bike tips can enhance comfort during the ride. A great fit can't assist you if you do something wrong while you're not riding. Here's what experts advise to exploit your bike position. While bike fitters frequently quarrel over the particulars, they mainly agree on some essential principles of fine fit. Consider some points to sitting right on the bike.
Stand and sit tall. Slouching often means drooping on the bike. This invites troubles from neck to ankles. You need a muscular core, and all-day core workout brings good posture. Stand or be seated upright, touch your index finger to the soft spot at your throat's base, then raise your rib cage and extend the spine to elevate the finger. Throughout the pedal stroke on carbon fiber bike wheels, retain bend in every knee. Overextending or straightening your legs put excessive stress on joints and make your pelvis list to a side.
Stretch long, but not hard. Stretch twice a week at least, when the body is already warm, after a warm-up or ride's end. Some say stretch for 30 seconds. Holding every stretch for 60 seconds to some minutes can help. Connective tissue responds to extent rather than power. Position the carbon road rim, handlebar and brake-lever tops so that the elbows aren't locked and shoulders don't stress up, despite where you grasp the bar.
Ditch ordinary shoes. Feet push pedals and carbon tri spoke wheels as competently as brain or central nervous system say them to. To maintain "neural pathways" unfastened, you must fortify your feet or your brain becomes lazy. Experts advise riders to go shoeless while off the bike, or use minimalist running shoes to make feet responsive. Anyone can't have the similar sensitivity wearing gloves rather than using bare hands!
