Believe it or not, stretching can actually make you a faster
rider! By keeping muscles loose and limber with stretching, you’ll be creating
healthier and more efficient riding muscles. So that moment when you may need
to lift off of the saddle to accelerate will be a breeze come the MS Bike
events.
Keep in mind stretching doesn’t just include a couple of deep-knee
bends and or a set of jumping jacks. It is important to understand the right
stretching techniques. Though stretching it easy, if done incorrectly, you
could risk doing more harm than good. A step in the right direction is to start
stretching regularly. The routine will improve flexibility and decrease resistance
while pedaling.
