Cycling technique. Under the proper technique cycling refers to the development of such movements, which allow for less power to develop more speed and pass a longer path. Planting of the cyclist. Planting a cyclist in the largely depends on the height of the fastening seat and steering, as well as the shape of the latter. Landing on a road bike. This bike is usually used for walking, business travel and tourism. Developed on It is relatively low speed. Cyclist on the road has the ability to enjoy nature and be in the saddle without fatigue for hours. Housing cyclist on the road bike is slightly tilted forward by bending at the waist, but not between the shoulder blades, which can cause stooping. Hands slightly bent at the elbows and push-width apart, hands on the handles lie or bend wheel with the palms down. At the same time to compress the steering wheel in his hands should be moderately to prevent excessive fatigue fingers. Body weight in such a situation is distributed on five points: the main burden falls on the saddle, the rest on the pedals and steering wheel. Breathing during the ride should be free, deep (to breathe air through your nose and exhale through the mouth), head slightly tilted forward for a better dissection of the air. The air passing through the nose cleaned of dust and warmed up (which is especially important when driving in cold weather). Bent body position better absorbs shocks caused by irregularities in the road, and has less air resistance. When properly installed saddle elongated foot rider gets free foot to the middle part of the pedal in the lower position. A saddle should also be properly installed in a horizontal plane, as in the longitudinal and transverse directions. Otherwise, when you ride a cyclist will always move out of the saddle in the direction of the slope. It should also be properly set the saddle to the axis of the carriage. The final position of the saddle is empirically depending on the individual rider. The second factor determining the landing the cyclist is the shape and height of the fixing steering.
