CYCLING TECHNIQUE: MANTRA
The running mantra is Pose-Fall-Pull. In cycling it is Pose-Unweight. In action, however, it all happens a lot faster than you might be able to say it. So, know your mantra, but focus on action.
From the Pose Method point of view, in cycling, as in running, there is
no "push". And, there is no "pull" or "lift". There is
"pose" and then
"unweight".
The key position, or the pose, is sitting centered on the saddle with feet on pedals at 3 and 9 o'clock. The
force moment in cycling is between 1-4 o'clock. So "working" beyond that "time" frame is doing more than needed.
It is essential to practice the
"balance" drill for cycling technique because the correct unweighting depends significantly on your ability to hold good balance.
