The Top MUST KNOW Cycling Skills To Go Faster

Huge episode for you today, we’re announcing the GIANT giveaway winner, someone is walking away with over a $7000 prize pack, we’ve got holiday training to discuss, and then today’s main topic, is something fundamental that we see a lot of cyclists getting wrong..

Because riding a bike is SO much more than just pushing the pedals as hard as you can.

There are a bunch of fundamentals that if you’re not doing, you’re losing power and more importantly speed on the bike.

Basically the more inefficient you’re riding the more effort you’re putting in for less reward. 

Which is really the total opposite of what we want to be doing.

So today, we’re taking you through the top must-know skills for cycling, and these apply from beginners all the way to advanced cyclists who are still making some fundamental mistakes.

As always, this episode is brought to you by our proud sponsor Giant Australia. For all your bike, training, and racing needs, ride life, ride Giant.
