Great advice mate, I could listen to you all day. Can't believe you're 51....proof of how good cycling is for us!

50 year old roadie and mtber. Your point about hamstring and glute engagement is spot on. I lowered my saddle and positioned my saddle further back on the rails and it helped enormously with burning quads after an hour or so of riding. I live in a pretty hilly area, a fair few punchy 10 to 15% climbs some 20% so it has made a big difference to me.

Excellet tips, grazie mille! Helped me to realize saddle was still too high causing pain in my hip flexors...your approach to what "tell-tale" signs to look for helps those of us who do not have the availability of a bike fitter (none in my small Caribbean island :))....and you look amazing for your age, very inspiring!

Learning to listen in detail to what your body is telling you while riding the bike, through all possible conditions, should be first and foremost prior to any adjustment on the bike or having a bike fit. Some riders are simply ignoring the smallest details that causes them to lose improvement to fitness and power. Some are even avoiding the needed adjustment to the bike simply because it doesn't aesthetically look good for them. I see a lot of riders with over extended seatpost because for them it looks aggressive and fast. 😅

Nice video! Interesting approach to the subject. Unfortunately, my low height makes things a little more difficult for me. There are no shorter seatposts on the market it seems, and on the other hand, cleats set 'correctly' I catch the front wheel with the tips of my shoes while turning at low speed and peddling. Hence I had to move my cleats slightly forward and I do feel my calves are somewhat overloaded. All those mismatches are minimal and on the short rides I usually do they don't cause any real issues for me, but I admit - this is slightly out of optimal. I guess I could resolve all those issues by buying a bike from a more expensive brand providing more size choices, but my budget doesn't currently allow me to do so.
@fede12754 ай бұрын
Yes, not easy if bike sizing does not help. I will still position the cleats in the better position and try to avoid to pedal in the overlapping position. Unless you ride in heavy traffic you should not catch the foot hopefully.

Good video. I see a lot of riders with their saddles too high, especially women.
@fede12754 ай бұрын
I also noticed that for some reason women tend to ride with high saddles and pointed toes. Maybe it's an interpretation of the pedal movement, but I'm not sure it's efficient

How would your cycling club act if during your club ride someone with flat pedals, without helmet, and without any fancy aero cycling clothes overtaken all of you and you wouldn’t be able to keep up with him?
