How To Make Your Pedalling Technique Smoother Than Ever | GCN's Pro Cycling Tips

Make a video for Short rider

Lately I bought a CITYbike and it made me fall into this bike-rabbithole, now I ended up watching all these videos about bike racing, mountainbiking, bike packing, and all sorts of things I've never done. It's interesting though.

Try not to pull up wtf ,
Are u saying push down only
Bollli ks , clueless 🙄🙄🙄🙄

I'm the slowest on my all friends when having a ride, I use my all power to overtake them but I can't because their sprinting is hella fast.

U make the wheels looks so small

Thank for the video man

hi goodmorning from Philippines I'm your solid supporter im so dead dreaming to have a bike like yours, nice contents and nice videos thank you for the ideas and knowledge. hoping for your reply.

I simply came to this video because of that absolutely cursed head tube, things bigger than my waist!

To pedal like a pro, one foot goes in front of the other. Now spin crank....move forward...gee..thanks

we filipino cant afford carbon bike we use to ride in heavy alloy frame around 10kilo plus and wearing basketball shoes instead of clits

Ride on some rollers :)

Really helpful, any suggestions for counting my pedaling? Cadence? 🙏 Thanks.

You also shouldnt bob

another terrible video - for a great one check out - Kinetic Cycle Coaching - How to MAKE Your Pedalling Technique Produce MORE POWER

One of the best tips I read (don't remember from whom it was): think about pedaling fast, not strong.

don't jerk lol, got my mind turning grin for a moment

All this do and don't is not necessary in my opinion

sounds like they borrowed the soundtack to the great british bake off for this one...

Pls how can I get a road to my country Nigeria

Thank you, great tips, just one issue...I like to cycle as much as I can but the saddle is an issue even in the gym that makes me uncomfortable sitting on one side that I gotta stop ☹️ any tips on what to do (ever come across this problem) 🤔. Cheers 🍻

got nervous on the last tip, then realized I just misinterpreted it 😳

Power yoga and cycling are the perfect partners ,balance , strenght ,core strenght and indurance. Forearm plank is great but dont disenguage your core like our narrator keep it rigid. If anyones does have 1 leg longer, check your hip joint alignment as in most cases the long leg appears longer as the hip joint is out.If so find a Holistic healer as its easy fixed. Great vid and advice
Thanks !

great information. thank you

You gotta loosen up some. Looking stiff as a board during them stretches. Lol

This bike is so beautiful that i cannot even focus on what he says :(

Everyone seems to be pedalling smoothly while cruising along a tailwind

Good video my friend well done 👏 thanks

Motorcyle engine sound super anoying!

I was always taught to keep my feet in line with the bike as any angle could cause knee issues. Took the advice seriously as I had an earlier knee injury and went from spending the following week in agony to painless more efficient riding, albeit with a mid float setup.

How big is a large ?

I have only one advise. However we paddle, keep the torque ripple lowest possible.

strong video/content - one note, NEVER try, he repeatedly says "Try".......DO, don't try. It's a mindset. Jus' sayin'.

Nice music, love it!

can you tell me your height anh the size of this bike; thanks in advance

I like to pedal with a pull force at the same time as a push force sometimes for variation (tho not most of the time) and I am curious as to why that is apparently wrong. Any idea? I would have thought constant rotational force is good!

LOL! "Like a graceful swan swimming through the water..." I will never forget that imagery. I'm astonished how well you can deliver this on camera while riding. Hats off to you.

Why can't people try not to be a philosopher, show the actions and talk less would make better video

I got a new bike last week and went clipless for the first time. Realized very quickly how terrible my pedaling technique was. Clipless definitely forces you to fix glaring issues immediately. Focusing on it has made my rides much more enjoyable, and less painful afterwards. And just the one fall clipping in🤣

Bro ive noticed that you're using big ring and biggest cog. Is that okay? Thot that was cross chain

Sick and tired of GCN videos on "how to abuse your body/bike like a pro" we are not pros. Just give good advive Forget about pros.

Can't we just pedal like ourselves! Why all the pro rubbish! Typical GCN looking after the pros and the richer people! Do something without taking the piss like you guys normally do for beginners or amateurs!

Great video. The cycle fit is something I really need to pay attention to.

Uyyyyy Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

In my opinion its not necessary to give thought to how to pedal efficiently more than once in your live, if ever. Instead of thinking while pedaling and without pedaling (e.g. sitting in front of my laptop) you should do one of the following:
- Imagine the cappucino you will have at the next coffee shop
- Calculate the time you will need for the current ride (and how many deviations might be necessary to avoid bringing the garbage to the trashl barrel)
- Try to think of nothing at all (...)
etc.
One thing helps: Focus a spot in the distance (about 50 - 100 m throughout the street and imagine riders who are trying to reach this one in front of you) or imagine a rider on your rear wheel suffering from your tempo.

This is good advice and very well presented.
Just enough information to be useful without being overwhelmed by the detail.

Thanks GCN!

How smooth is your pedal stroke?
