Can you really ride a bike? - Analysis of mountain bike riding posture
Can you really ride a bike? Let's start with the cycling posture and check if you can ride it. People and cars generally have three contact points: pedals, handlebars and seat cushions. First of all, check your feet. The two slabs or "lollipops" under your feet are the basis for your close cooperation with your bicycle. When you stand in the car, your weight will pass through your pedals, cranks, pass to your center axis, and then spread to your front and rear wheels in a ratio of about 40 to 60.
Here is the best ratio to support your body weight. Because your center of gravity is safely placed in the middle and back of the front and rear wheels, and your focus is low, only about 30 centimeters from the ground, it will be easier to control the vehicle. More importantly, you can rely on your body's most powerful muscle group to support your weight, and to ensure that your hands load is very small.
Next is your hands. They hold the handlebars, right? Ok! You put them right. However, the main role of the cross is definitely not to support your weight while you ride. It also has many more important tasks to complete. For example, controlling the front wheel steering, pulling your body forward or behind the car, pressing down or advancing round... In short, you should try to make it more of the task of manoeuvring the vehicle than relying heavily on it. Support your upper body weight.
After you “liberate†your hands, you will find that your shoulders and palms are not sore when you ride; the front wheels are more flexible and easier to turn; and when you encounter obstacles, they react faster. When you use your hands to support most of your upper body's weight, your center of gravity is quite forward, and your body's absorption of vibrations becomes poor, and your response slows down. The odds will increase dramatically. And when you remove support from your hands and let your body “hang†over the handlebars, your upper body becomes quite sensitive and can absorb shocks very well. At the same time, you also have more freedom to make twisting, pushing, pulling, pressing, lifting and other manipulations.
The last is your buttocks. Indeed, there is a part of our car called a seat cushion, or saddle. However, the fact that this so-called "sitting" is far from the "sitting" gap we usually drink tea. In our car, the seat cushion is also one of the control parts. Its role is mainly: resting platform. When you step hard, most of your weight will be supported by your legs. At this time, even if you "sit", there is not much pressure applied to your cushion. If you can keep this state, it's good. However, as far as I know, no one has been able to stay in a state of vigorous stamping for several hours of riding, and sometimes even a few minutes are very, very tiring. At this time, you can use the cushion as a resting platform. Reduce the pedaling force appropriately, control the breathing rhythm, let your hips share a part of the weight, let your legs rest and prepare for the next sprint.
Helps you increase pedaling efficiency. When you are sitting and pedaling, your seat cushion can help you to “round up†your feet, reduce unnecessary body undulations, reduce the waste of body power output, and increase your pedaling efficiency.
Give you a "third support point" for your car. Although in complex terrain, you rarely, or not, can sit on your cushion, your cushion can also serve as a support point for you to control the right and left roll of the vehicle. Maybe you haven't realized it yet. Take a seat off and take a look. You will find that even if you stand on a ride, a car with no cushion will feel very different and it will be harder to control.
In general, when you sit in the car with your butt on your shoulders and press your arms, you can only run flat roads, gently crossing corners and braking. So, when bad terrain appears in front of you, when you need to bend at high speed, brake strongly, you will ride the bike, please decisively leave the seat cushion, use your legs to support your weight, use the cushion to assist the control, and gently control the car. Go smoothly across the rugged roads, leaving a light dust.
