Video: How to pin your race or sportive number on as neat and aero as a pro rider

We can't all have the legs of pro riders, but we can all look the part. Pinning your sportive or race number on properly is a start.

If you're entering a sportive or racing any time soon, this technique is important to get right.

It might seem like the last thing on your mind, but pinning your number correctly takes a bit of practice to keep it attached to your jersey and stop it flapping in the wind.

Daniel Lloyd has over 15 years of experience in this field, and recommends using seven pins per number.

While a stack of safety pins is a reliable way to keep your number secure, alternative products like RaceDots use powerful magnets to keep everything in place.

Have a look at the clip below to find out how to do it properly so at least you can look the part.
