Mastering Efficient Cycling Form
Achieving an efficient cycling form, reminiscent of professional riders like Pogacar, involves focusing on body position and aerodynamics. Maintaining a flat back and relaxed posture can enhance aerodynamic efficiency while allowing for power generation, balancing both comfort and speed. Additionally, a slight bend in the elbows helps to absorb road vibrations, enabling cyclists to make micro-adjustments without wasting energy. This optimal body positioning can often be visually assessed, suggesting that if a cyclist appears aerodynamic, they likely are.
