These really simple tips can help you improve your bike handling; making you faster, safer and more relaxed.
Bike handling is often overlooked as a means to improving as a rider.
But feeling as confident and comfortable on possible on your bike on all terrains, in adverse weather conditions and when you’re under pressure, will make you a better rider.
The ability to throw your bike around will help you respond more quickly to what’s going on around you and will aid your movement in a bunch or group – training, racing or in sportives.
It will also make you feel more relaxed, meaning you can put your effort into going faster rather than stressing about handling yourself in situations that are not taxing the more confident and experienced riders.
Improved handling will also enable you to eat and drink more comfortably on the move and put on layers or peel them off when needed.
