202 Effective Pedalling Mechanics PART 2 - Is Your Body Up To The Task?

In part two of our deep dive into what is effective pedalling mechanics, we shift our focus away from the bike & components and investigate the true engine: the rider’s body.
The real question behind this whole series is: How good do you really want your bike riding to feel?
If you're chasing component change after component change and solutions only through adjusting the bike, then you are missed 50% of the equation. Bike's won't ride themselves, so a rider's capabilities in strength, flexibility, co-ordination and movement experience will affect the overall outcome more than simply the bike itself.
We break down why off-bike assessments matter, dispelling myths around static flexibility tests in favour of evaluating how a cyclist moves dynamically and controls their own body in space.
We also want you to understand how to see yourself as a unique individual and not be satisfied with simply conforming to the average orthodoxy. At the end we give you 3 pillars of off-bike assessment so you can begin practicing yourself straightaway.
