Rider Skills: Conserving Energy - Bret Tkacs
Energy conservation:
A bike in motion is better than picking one up:
Getting stuck
Picking them up
No motion induced balance
Better traction
Fatigue makes everything harder… rested means:
Clear decisions
More confidence
More deliberate riding
Less risk
It’s the details in training that can make a difference:
Poser skills training
Rolling dismounts
Standing when stopping (handlebar stops)
Reduced energy stops
Less movement means less energy burn
“drop it and walk”… training to avoid injury with style
Rider skill practice:
The bar stop:
Learning timing
Mastering clutch/power delivery
Utilizing balance and neutralizing weight to stop and continue
Building confidence
Most important… conserving energy
