Biomechanics is the science relative with the forces applying on the human body and the effects these forces produce. These forces play an important role in the parts of the human body that move during the performance of a skill. In a word, it is a decisive technique. Therefore when you know more about biomechanics, it can help improve cycling technique to improve performance and also avoid the risk of injury.SADDLE HEIGHT IN CYCLINGAltering the saddle height brings many variables in cycling such as joint angles and muscle lengths, and the force output muscles could generate. Research has shown that...

If you have watched any professional long distance cycling race, you may notice there are feed zones during the cycling. Feed Zones are specific portions of race courses designated by race organizers for the delivery of food and drink to riders. In these predetermined areas support staff of the teams are positioned on one side of the road to hand off bottles and/or bags with food and drink that can easily be slung over the shoulder. Riders simply ride by looking for their support staff who will typically be wearing the same uniform so as to be easily identified and...

If you are planning a cycling trip, except for the cycling routines, you still need to consider carefully what should be placed in your packages.

Step 1: Inspect the inner and outer limit. There should be 2 mm spacing between inside the chain and the front derailleur cage. If there is less or more than 2 mm, turn the inner limit screw in or out, until the right amount of clearance if achieved, usually the innermost or uppermost of the pair of screws on the derailleur body.Step 2: Shift to the smallest cog and biggest chainring. The outside of the cage should clear the chain by 2mm. if not, adjust the outer limit screw.Step 3: Set cable tension. Here are two ways according to the...
