Please imagine:Now you need to buy a new bike, so you enter a large bike shop. There have a wide range of bikes in front of you, including road bikes, mountain bikes and other series. Will you find the right bike for yourself in the vast bike series at the first time? Or will you be confused about the choice of what do you need? The choice of bikes is more like marriage. Couples who are suitable for love may not be suitable for marriage, and the bike which you like may not be suitable for riding. We should choose the most suitable version according to our usual riding environment, riding distance and other factors! So, how do we choose the most suitable bike for ourselves?Let us focuses on road bikes and mountain bikes. Explain the differences between them in order to provide options:) Road bikes features: narrow tires, narrow and lightweight handlebars, light and slender frame. Riding road conditions: suitable for riding on smooth roads such as asphalt roads. Advantages: light weight and high speed. Disadvantages: aggressive posture (lying down), low trafficability and no bearing capacity. "Lightness" is synonymous with road bikes, which also makes it the first choice for high-speed travel on paved roads. Large wheel diameter and narrow tires make it have very low road resistance and provide higher road speed, but also reduce its grip, and are extremely vulnerable to "traps" such as sidewalks and vertical drains. In addition to the riders, thieves also love them, so that the vehicle is not conducive to parking and storage. It has almost no carrying capacity. The riding posture is more radical and the comfort is low. It is only suitable for competition and sporting. Mountain bike features: wide tires, wide and stable handlebars, rigid and strong frame Riding road condition: suitable for riding on rough and bad road conditions such as mountain roads (even on flat ground). Advantages: strong braking force, trafficability, off-road performance, and can cross mountain forest roads. Disadvantages: weight, flat road toothed tire performance, very dragging feet and low speed. as its name implies, it’s born for rugged mountain forest roads.Disc brake, coarse gear, high strength and full shock absorption models let more riders find sufficient riding confidence. All kinds of technologies on mountain bikes are targeted for mountain roads. If your "ambition" is not on cross-country, it may be more suitable to choose other types of bicycles. Mountain bikes on paved roads not only drag your feet, but also "waste all technologies" bought with a high price. If you are preparing for competitive competition, starting with road bikes is the best choice. The maximum weight limit of road bikes is 10.5kg, but the weight of mountain vehicles can reach 12.5kg; The heavier the bikes, the more physical strength and energy it will consume, and it will be slower to ride. Even mountain bikes are suitable for riding. In front of competitive competition, they still lose on wei...

Some riders ask how speed practice can be transformed into a one-day ride? Many times you have the opportunity to ride in formation with others. If you want to use car following to achieve the shortest time, you must be able to keep up with their speed. The way is to change your own speed often. If you want to achieve the shortest time yourself, you must maintain the most stable rhythm. Whether it's mountain climbing or road riding, be sure to work hard and master excellent skills, because it may cost you the most time. After turning to the top of the mountain or riding to the target point, continue to ride steadily. Commuting by bike is the best way to use time to train. Do speed exercises at least three times a week (interval, training race, time trial) Take a long ride once a week to maintain endurance. That's enough. Often try your best to strengthen and test your physical condition on the familiar mountain. During the activity, push yourself to the anaerobic threshold when climbing, because this is the time when you can win the most time. Then recover in the downhill. In addition to climbing, maintaining stable output is the key to achieving the highest results Choose liquid food instead of solid food, especially for activities over 2 days. Because liquid food was more effective at that time. Keep in good shape throughout the year and beat the influence of age. In addition, it should be noted that the most troublesome thing for long-distance riding is encountering windy weather. Pay attention to controlling the speed and driving smoothly; Pay attention to prevent crosswind and observe pedestrians on the road, do not rush with pedestrians, be more careful when overtaking pedestrians or cyclists, and keep a safe distance; Stop immediately when you find any abnormality of roadside pedestrians or cyclists.

Dear friends, with the promotion of triathlon, more and more kids have joined this interesting sport, but we found that there are some common weaknesses in triathlon training, which will greatly affect the performance and must be overcome. training time Generally, triathlon training takes 12-24 hours a week. However, such training time can only guarantee the completion of the game. If you want to achieve better results, you must invest more training time. (picture from @ song Cheng) If you are not a professional athlete, it is difficult for ordinary people to have so much time to train. Then, it is necessary to select one of the projects as the focus. Cycling is the focus of triathlon because it has the longest distance. In the Olympic standard triathlon, the distance of cycling is 40 kilometers, and the distance of super long-distance triathlon is 180 kilometers. Therefore, in the last 12 weeks of training before the race, the training time of bicycle should occupy about half. Swimming technique The most common short board in swimming is swimming technology. Moreover, the longer the swimming distance, the more important the technology is. In the long-distance triathlon 3.8km swimming competition, good technology can save a lot of physical strength. The improvement of swimming technology needs the guidance of professionals, and swimming in open water and swimming pool is very different. (picture from @ kaiyanlong) Riding endurance Regardless of the distance of triathlon, the distance of bicycle race is the longest. Therefore, in order to gain an advantage in this project, endurance training is indispensable. The improvement of muscle endurance requires a long time of training, especially near the last 12 weeks of the game. The running speed in triathlon is not very fast. The key is to have endurance. Maybe in the first 40 kilometers, other players continue to surpass you, but if your endurance is good enough, you can surpass again in the final sprint stage. The people who surpass you before may only walk through the finish line. (picture from @ kaiyanlong) Running endurance As the closing event of triathlon, running should be difficult, because the body has consumed a lot of energy at this time. It is very important to maintain sufficient endurance and stable speed. The running speed in triathlon is not very fast. The key is to have endurance. Maybe in the first 40 kilometers, other players continue to surpass you, but if your endurance is good enough, you can surpass again in the final sprint stage. The people who surpass you before may only walk through the finish line. (picture from @ kaiyanlong) Nutrition Supply In the view of advertisers of nutrition products, contestants need many nutrients such as protein, sodium, magnesium, calcium and vitamins. In fact, these nutrients can be supplemented with a little attention in the usual diet, and what we really need during the game is water and carbohydrates. During the competition, it is best to su...
