How do you make your bike go faster?

[Tel]

There is a weight obsession with bikes but is that what makes you go faster?

 

[Ian Raleigh]

SIS energy!

For me the best way would be to get someone else to ride it.

Pedal harder. Seriously!

On top of that, it's all about aerodynamics if you're on the flat. Don't wear baggy flappy clothes, keep yourself tucked in nice and tight, check you're in a nice aero position by looking at yourself in shop windows and get some aero bars. Once you're moving, the weight of the bike makes little difference in my experience.

Surely you know yourself if your tucked in elbows bent aero position therefore no need to look in shop windows...lol

His just looking to see how cool he looks

 

[Tazio]

Physically attach myself to it.

Or clipless pedals as some would describe it.

 

[Ian Raleigh]

After several minutes of thought Tel. Riding the bike to a level you have never attempted
has got nothing to do with drinks and aero bars, its a matter of being committed and getting on with the job.

For a time I drilled this old song into my small minded brain and overcame my weakness as I listened to this song and just pedalled like hell.

Time trials are useful. Either trying to catch someone in front of you or staving off someone else's attempts to catch you are good incentives to go like the clappers!
