CYCLING IS A GREAT SPORT

What Is Your Speed

pub-8348084515547660

What upgrades will make my bicycle faster?

I've bought a cheap hybrid bike from Halfords and would like to improve my speed on the commute. Short of turning myself in Lance Armstrong or fitting a rocket to the back I'm open to suggestions.

First get a speedometer and note which sections of road have the most potential for improved speed.

Aero drag, weight and rolling resistance are the major things that slow down a bike. Weight on hills and acceleration, aero drag the faster you go.

sometimes really nice appropriate tires, like a Maxxis hookworm, can improve the ride, decrease rolling resistance, and still have good traction.

Learn to pedal hard while in a "tuck position". you may have to adjust your seat and handlebars to accomplish this.

Your improvements will come in small steps, so get the speedometer and take notes.

Best.
