Skills for Efficient Cycling Performance
By Gary Gomulinski
The temperature is dropping and its time to change our cycling focus to building a more efficiency. The off season is our best chance to make a change in our pedal cadence and improve our overall performance. Every time we hop on the bike we enter into battle between aerodynamics and power delivery to the pedals. The more aerodynamic we are, the less power we can apply to the pedals, while a bike position which allows for greater power ultimately reduces our aerodynamics. Finding the right balance between aerodynamics and power is a tricky task, since that balance can vary widely between athletes. A bike set-up that works great for one rider might be detrimental to another. I want to take the bike set-up out of the equation for this article and focus on pedal efficiency or maximizing our power out put through more efficient pedaling.
