Follow these tips to ensure pain free cycling in the spring conditions!
*
Use your bike to help stretch the lower back & arms | You and your bike must fit! If adjustments and equipment changes are needed take your bike to a local bicycle dealer.
*When riding trunk position should be 40-80 degrees from horizontal & shoulder angle should be between 80-90 degrees. Considering these angles will help to prevent injuries and make cycling more efficient for you.
Stretch after riding to minimize shortening of muscles. Hamstring flexibility is important for pedaling force and decreasing low back pain. | *The hands should be slightly wider than shoulders on the handlebars.
*Keep a controlled but relaxed grip & change hand position on handlebars frequently.
*Keep your wrists in a straight position, rather than at an angle.
*Aim to pedal between 80-90 revolutions per minute.
Keep thighs parallel when stretching quads. Hold stretches for 30 seconds. | *Wear cycling gloves to decrease the pressure on the palms of your hands and prevent tingling and numbness in the fingers.
*Be Safe; Wear a helmet, ride with traffic flow, and obey all traffic controls. Watch out for parked cars and opening doors
